Probably broken plastic wire inside that makes it go up and down. Had the same problem and took apart and ordered new mast.

How do you get the power antenna down on a 1979 Corvette can hear a click in the back when you turn on the radio is that an antenna relay?

95 % of the time the nylon cord that moves the antenna up and down gets stripped. The power antenna motor is going to cost about $200.00. The antenna mast is about $40.00 which comes as part of the nylon cord. The motor that drives the antenna must bestill working. The procedure to fix takes about 15 minutes. Remove the nut that secures the antenna and slowly pull the antenna out od the socket. Take the new antenna with the nylon leadand feed it into the socket hole. You can then secure the antenna in place with the holding nut.
