Newbie with naive question on antenna

Hello experts. I just took delivery of an O6 Convertible GT 5sp. Gorgeous in black and really nice to drive. I have a stupid question but could not find the answer in the owners manual: Since this morning, I have since a retractable antenna up, i did not even know I had one, and now I wonder how to get it to retract back. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

Right, no retractable antenna on these cars.

It would be cool if they did.

To the OP, the S197's don't come stock with a retractable antenna. The stock antenna is a 36" fixed whip mounted on the front passenger fender. If yours is retractable, then it's not factory and must have ben modded by the previous owner.
