if you have the fully retractable antenna, you can remove it by collapsing it, removing the mounting nut and pushing it into the body. then remove the instrument cluster, unhook the antenna wire and bring the antenna out through the dash, or push it down through the gromet and fish it out the bottom. you can install the new one by laying under the van, (jacking a little helps) extending the mast fully and feeding it up from the bottom until the mast sticks up through the hole and then pull it up from the top. If there is still a gromet in the hole that the bottom of the antenna sits in, you have to remove it. |
