How to manually lower antenna 2007 xk
Hello - First post. Just bought a blue 2007 xk convertible - LOVE it!
I believe that I saw somewhere in these posts a way to manually lower the antenna - I just can't find that post again.
Situation: My '07 antenna won't go down (it has been checked out and it is the motor). I just activated Sirius so I no longer need the antenna but I do need it lowered in order to use my car cover.
Question: Is there a way to manually lower the antenna, and if so, how is it done?
Thank you!

how do i lower the power antenna manually? - MR2 Owners Club Message Board
Never had to do it but some ideas here: basically trying to push it down either manually or if motor runs at all, pushing down when it is in the downward sequence but not grabbing.
Otherwise take the unit out and open it up. You can just disengage the teeth from the gear and pull it down. Once finished don't connect electrical but re-install the unit to plug the hole if that is how you want the hole plugged.

Glad to hear. Its pretty rare "brute force" is the solution on these but this was one of those exceptions!
