Removing The Stock Antenna?

Post by Nd4SpdSe »

What's the trick to removing the antenna besides the 2 top screws? Is there something in the A-pillar that needs to be disconnected? Maybe it's the antenna cable that's ran tight from the factory?

there's definitely not anymore screws, but i think there maybe some clips behind the pillar cover, so take a look. i'm pretty sure i broke the stockie yanking it out, but then my antenna was stuck in, in the first place. the plastic sheath was what i had trouble with... i bet if you do right (instead of what i did), you should be able to push it out from the inside pretty easy

^ yes the obvious 2 screws on top but then the cable runs threw your A piller under the dash, which it is zip tied in and you almost have to pull the dash to get it out. But just find the zip ties cut them off and pull it through the roof. Mine is shaved also (to reduce weight lol if any :shrug: )
