Any tricks to removing the antenna snap on winshield?
figured I would ask before I force it and break something else.. the whole thing looks a little fragile (and maybe it is already broken) on my original windshield. I need to remove the glass to replace the gasket and do a little cleanup and repaint around the inside behind the dashpad.
I tried gentle pressure but it did not give and I am not sure if the plate it connects to is detached from the glass as well. Is there a preferred method for this? |

Nylon trim removal tools. If you don't have any, get some add them to your toolbox.

The connector is similar to a denim snap on a jacket. If you pry with a small screwdriver in the first metal gap that will release that antenna connection. I found this tip in this video.

Cool thanks for the tips. I am guessing maybe I have a bigger issue under there then because there seems to be some wiggling where the snap is. Thanks again!

They broke my lead in cable when they were putting in the new windshield..its only about 8 bucks from lmc..but if the snap breaks off the windshield I don't know if there's anything you can do about that..that's a nice set of tools randy...
