[T3] spring-loaded antenna

	I picked up this antenna that retracts all the way down, 
spring-loaded, and clips in fully retracted.  To release it again, 
there's a little slot on the side of the chrome mounting fitting that 
lets you access the tips of a plastic C-shaped circlip thingy.  It's 
pretty clear that you use a little tool to stick into the slot, 
pushing the tips of the plastic C, spreading it a bit wider, which 
lets the antenna tip pop up under the spring-loaded tension.

	I don't have this tool.

	I'm sure I can make something.  (A paper clip works in a 
pinch.)  Has anyone seen this style of antenna before?  What does the 
release tool look like?  I assume that it attaches to your key fob...?

	Also, the antenna is a little bit stiff to extend and 
collapse.  Is it recommended to lubricate antennas?  What do folks 
suggest?
