Re: Antenna removal

There are 4 bolts ( i believe (2) 9/16 and (2) 1/2 inch)

I ended up opening the door, and using a long extension to reach the two that go into cowl ducting and the last two from the hood side

Re: Antenna removal

Curious as to if you're deleting it or replacing it. If you are deleting it, I found that a "knock out" plug from a metal electrical box is a darn near perfect size circle for welding in the hole.

I think I’m going to replace it. Not sure where to get one though.

Re: Antenna removal

I bought one of these generic ones that has been working pretty well, and doesn't look too far out of place

Re: Antenna removal

Re: Antenna removal

Back when I replace mine I put in one that will telescope so that it will fit under my cover. I think I got it at pep boys.
