The electric lift mechanism on those is known to be a problem; they usually 
don't work for long.  I've heard of replacing them with something cheaper 
from K-Mart that works well.  But in either case, the mechanism, which is 
also where the antenna connects to the wire going forward to the radio, is 
pretty easy to reach through the trunk.  If there's no info and you establish 
there's something wrong along the run of the antenna cable, Mr. Lazy (me) 
suggests it is not worth fixing; it would be better to forget it and start 
over with a new cable from the radio to the antenna and leave the broken one 
for archaeologists to discover.
