If the antenna is stuck up, most likely is a worn antenna mast tail- it has ridges that wear down and the gears in the motor can't engage the tail to lower the mast. You replace the mast. Hopefully, it's not a dead antenna motor.

The clip you mention clips to the bottom center of the Becker radio. It's the connection to the anti-theft system.
Thanks for the wealth of info. I was able to get the sensor back into position the next time I was behind the radio. The AC works much better with it in there!

I looked at the old radio after that chore, and I saw where the clip would have gone.

I bought a replacement mast, but no luck. The motor runs, but still no movement. I fear that the drive gear is stripped. I have not been motivated enough to address it.

Thanks for the input!
