I'm guessing you have a wing mounted aerial? If so then as far as I'm aware they aren't motorized, you'll have to pull it up manually.....

I had a little key which slotted over the top of the aerial & allowed me to pull it up. You could take the wing off to fit a new one, personally I'd look out for one from a scrappy without the aerial hole & fit a glass mounted aerial instead.

If the top is smooth it might be electric.
