If it is an electric, it retracts when the car/stereo is off, and extends when the stereo is on. If it isn't electric, it is permanently up. Of course, it could be electric, and have a problem with either the mast or motor that causes it to be permanently up. You might want to post this question in the audio forums, as those people are the ones in the "know" about the stereo stuff.

If it has a telescopic shaft it should go down. If it has a straight shaft it stays up.

Telescopic = it gets skinnier every foot or so. Look at it or feel it. FWIW, my 98 SE doesn't have one.
