i have a cobalt ls and i cannot figure out how to remove the antenna to put on my shorty

anyone know how ? i am prolly missing something that is very easy but i can't figure it out

 

grab a pair of pliars or a vice grip and that should do the trick. somehow when i went looking for them i couldnt find them n when i went back to twist it off it just magically came off.

 

it just twists off

 

if you look at this pic, look at what the silver piece is sitting on ... that whole piece comes up when i twist the antenna ... it seems like the antenna is stuck on my car or something ?

 

Hmm, it should just twist off so be careful...

 

ok, i finally got it ... i had to remove the whole antenna from the car, and take off the rubber from it, and use goose neck pliars to hold onto the bottom portion of it, and then use a wrench to unscrew the antenna from it ... god, they put these things on so tight !!

thanks everyone for your help ! it looks good now with the shorty antenna

 

righty-tighty lefty-loosey

Any pictures? Also, my antenna was loose and rattling when I picked my SS up. haha

 

i'll take some pics ... which ones were you lookin for of ... the whole antenna off the car ? (cuz i already fixed it all back into place) or a pic of the shorty antenna

 

a pic of the shorty

 

just put mine on tonite....looks much better. can still turn it a little,but it wont seem to tighten up anymore. didnt want to strip the screws...hope no jackass steals this on me.
