I have a 1993 Honda Accord LX 4DR Manual (5-speed).

I have a power antenna and when I turn the radio on it raises (and makes allot of noise once it is all the way up - as if it wants to go further) but when I turn it off it retracts about halfway and makes the same noise as when it's going up.

Thank you for your time!

 

It sounds like the mast segments are binding while both extending and retracting. Is there a bend or dent in one of the mast segments?

 

Yes in the top segment of the mast there is a small bend.

 

Replace the mast. A new one from Honda is $50 or so, and there are cheap (not sure on the quality) non-OEM replacements on eBay for $12-$25.
