i have been having the same problem b4 the antenna came out with out a problem now its like someone glued it. It means im stuck washing my car all the time

 

I chopped mine off, then coated the end with a little black epoxy resin. Looks like it came that way from the factory.

 

now...its all jiggly when i put the stock back on...and now the shorty antenna is sitting in my living room laughing and mocking at me haha

 

ok i literally just did mine not even 5 mintues ago. it was easy..... really easy....

 

well come over and do mine...my aint budging at all

 

i was thinkin bout this thread as i was walking outside too. i was praying that mine wasnt stuck like urs. i took a wrech with me, put it around the end of the antenna and just turned it left. was extremely easy. lol

but i dont kno what to tell ya man, mine as well just go nuts on the thing and go out there with a wrench and put all u have into it.... if that doesnt work, u could always cut it down urself and put a cap on the end of it and make a "custom shorty" theres a few ppl who have done that

 

I cut my OEM (8")

 

just cut it dude... i just cut my antenna down to 8 inches, wrapped it up with black electirical tape, and stuck a rubber piece on top. the thing works like a charm!!! the reception is the same as before lol ill post pics later in my vb garage

 

Are the Cobalts capable of the "disappearing antenna" mod that I did for my ION? The antenna is acually relocated and is parallel to the ground behind the fender:

yea im pretty sure they are. i thougth i found a few of those electrical antenna kits. check it out on ebay.

 

yea i bought antenna X off ebay looks nice but cant get it on cause of the stock one is playing games with me

 

o and i was just thinking, are u trying to unscrew it on the right part of the antenna? not to be a dick or nething, but i was thinkin about it and just wanted to make sure u werent trying to unscrew it from where it goes into the car.... again, im not trying to be a dick, just throwing out another reason why it might not be working..

 

i dunno....im trying to unscrew it in general....and it wasnt working and i pull it out of the socket ...im twisting it off and it aint moving man...dont know why

 

Mabie he is dating the She hulk

 

^^^lol and now she cant get it off now..

 

Wrench on flat spots just below the mast. If you have 2007 it is 7mm stud 05-mid 06 are 6mm stud. Make sure new antenna will fit 7mm.

 

hey jimmy. i just got the antenna x version and attempted to replace the stock one. the same thing happened to me. it was stuck on so tight that you end up popping the base off the mount that is inside the trunk. that is why yours is so wiggly now. its because its not attached to the base mount inside. your fucked. just like me. you prob bent the metal bracket on the inside. its not fixable so i have to go to chevy now on monday and have them replace the bracket and the base mount. im just gonna have them put it back to a stock antenna.

 

^^ Hey Steviepc7...did you notice that this thread is 1.5 years old? Happens a lot... Antenna has been discussed though the years -- have had a lot that did not separate easy!

 

Its funny cause I thought you had to take off the base to get it off until I read on here that you just use a wrench to unscrew the antenna.

 

haha wow didnt realize it was so old haha i just searched for antenna and came up with this !!

 

atleast you used the search instead of starting a new thread.

 

I guess I can join this club. Spent 25min so far trying to get it off. Im so pissed, broke it off the bracket, used a 19mm on the base thats inside the car and a 8mm on the mast, and twisted in opposite directions to lossen and nothing. FFFFFFUUUUUU

 

Haha ya you probably just need to go to the gym first then it should come right off...
