I see about 85-90% of all EJ/EK have their antenna shoved inside into the body. I've taken my plate off and messed around with it a bit but can't get it in. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Mine was stuck for awhile too, but I bathed it in WD-40 and it works fine now.

Are you saying you got a new one and cannot get it to fall in, or that yopu have an old one and is bent and cannot go in?

He says he bought it with and antenna mounted towards the rear too and it sounds like because of this he would like to get a block-off plate for his stock antenna.

I'm not sure what antenna is hooked up to the radio though, since he seems to think that blocking off his stock antenna might make him lose radio reception (so perhaps the rear antenna isn't hooked up?).

So along with this thread it sounds like he can't move the antenna around and perhaps he wanted to push the antenna in with the hopes that the block-off plate would fit over the stock antenna. And the old stock antenna won't go in.

Btw, the antenna doesn't need to be bent in order to not go in. My old antenna on my old Civic was bent and it went in fine. The new antenna on my new Civic isn't bent and was stuck. It just needed to be lubricated.
