I have a floppy antenna that just wont stay up; been that way since I got it so I figure its missing something that it needs. PO lost or forgot something when installing a farkle, maybe.

I want to fix it but need an estimate on how much time to remove and replace the body work so I can figure out when I will have time to fix it.

Thanks,

Naw just have to remove the speaker plastic piece, which I became very good at. Shocked

10mm nut on the inside...don't over tighten it...there is a rubber crush washer.

Thanks, thats good to know. I've been trying to get my big arm up under there for years now. My antenna usually lays on the side mirror.

Just my .02 but I think it's easier to pull the windscreen assembly off.

Undo the six screws around the front perimeter and then the four from the upper inner panel. Then lift it out carefully - the hard part is disconnecting the wiring harness connector from the windscreen motor but I think all in all it's easier then the other way.
