Power Antenna removal?
Has anyone removed the power antenna?
Any suggestions? I need to remove it to figure out why I get good reception then bad.. try to check the wiring as soon as I touch it the reception instantly improves, I would like to pull it out and see all the connections etc thanks

Re: Power Antenna removal?
I removed mine on my old 95 LT1 car and replaced it with a mini stubby antenna replacement. The antenna coaxial line is well inside the interior and you have to remove the top trim piece above the cargo shade and a fold some carpet back to find it if I recall well.

Re: Power Antenna removal?
The coaxial and power connection is like Mike mentioned behind left rear trim. You might consider first checking the condition of the ground strap and it's connections at the antenna before removing. I'd likely consider this before complete removal. Do you have amps in the rear?

Re: Power Antenna removal?
How well does the stubby one work?

Re: Power Antenna removal?
I took mine out, if I recall pretty straight forward, a few small screws and it drops out.

Re: Power Antenna removal?
It attaches to a bracket. Once you get to it, it comes off pretty easily. I agree, ground strap check.

Re: Power Antenna removal?
Do you have to remove the top nut by the mast? This is the one under the grommet where the antenna protrudes through the body or is that just the mast keeper nut.
Think I might have replace the assembly depends g if I find any bad connections
