Youll have to order a mast replacement. I read on here that someone paid $50 for their replacement.

try lubing it up good with some WD 40 and give it some slight assistance going up or down....the antenna over time builds up alot of grime on it that will make it stick.

just buy the S2k antenna and the signal booster. never worry about having to bend the OE one again.

mine and a friend's did the same....you'll have to get something replaced at the dealer which i heard varies between 70-100 bucks.
i decided to spend the 100 on a full S2K assembly so i get good reception and never have to worry about it getting stuck

depends whether you go with the cheap kit which will total cost you about $45 or going with the whole OEM assembly (and getting better reception) for about $115

I bought my mast for $25 off ebay. Just look up "Integra antenna mast," there's some guy that sells a bunch of them.

yea the kit with the pvc pipe is much cheaper, but i personally didn't like it... such as how you can never unscrew the antenna or the whole kit falls apart and it's weak reception unless in a good area...

mine does this too when it's cold outside. it may be because it's dirty and also try lubing it so it will slide down smoother.

the cheap kit is good but its not the greatest and getting the fitment is right is a biatch. I'm planning on getting the full s2k antenna kit.
