If you are using Sirius or XM radio are you using an
aftermarket HU? Most aftermarket HU's have a switched
power for the antenna so it will go down when not in
use.

If you are using an add on, that wouldn't apply.

The other thing-if it's broken, how is a switch going
to help? :)

Adding a switch should be easy though. I'd use the
switch from the gen1's that had the antenna up/down
and  mount it somewhere (maybe the fog light switch
socket and relocate that switch elsewhere?).
