Default Yes.

Push it down firmly and with "even" force and very slowly.

If that doesn't work, temporarily remove the power drive on the motor for the antenna. The power drive sits on top of the assy and is removed with two phillips screws.

The antenna should go down easily now since the power drive forces the gear drive up and down when functioning.

Put the power drive back in place and it should stay down.
