Default Problem with antenna and turn signal- help!

Hi everyone I just found this forum and I think it's great!

I have a 96 Honda Civic DX 2 door and I have 2 minor problems with it right now.

Problem #1: When the temperature drops in the winter time, the turn signal doesn't reset itself after I make a turn, either left or right- it just sticks there and I have to manually return it back to a neutral position after I make a turn. Can this be fixed, and if YES, how much should it cost to get fixed?

Problem #2: The radio antenna won't collapse anymore, it's stuck in the fully extended position and this sucks because I can't go through a car wash anymore to wash my car unless I want to have the radio antenna ripped off during the wash cycle. Can this be repaired, and if YES, how much should this normally cost to get fixed.

Other than for these 2 problems, it's in perfect working order.

Any feedback or advice would be helpful!

Thanks.

#1...uhh..not sure..
#2 under $20.00 all day long E-Bay antenna

How "handy" are you for car repairs? The antenna replacement will require you to remove some of the interior to route the new one thru.

Thanks for the advice Dogmeat.

I'm pretty handy with minor repairs, but I've got no experience when it comes to removing any part of the interior. If it isn't complicated or requires special tools I'd like to replace the antenna myself- could you tell me how it's done Dogmeat?
