I prefer the look of the stock antenna. I'm just going to do the shorty antenna mod. I used a 10mm wrench but when I turn it to take it out, the whole base spins inside the hole. Do I have to peel off the rubber boot that covers the hole? I don't want to just go rip it off without knowing. Thanks.

 

Hold from inside the car with vise grips or somethin

 

Alright, I'll look up in there tomorrow, I didn't know if there was anything in there I could put a wrench on. It just kinda scared me when I turned the antenna and the whole base just spun. like dafuq

 

yeah usuallly u would spin off, a drop of wd 40 may help also but u will still have to hold it from the inside, and if u do get wd40 on the paint, not a problem, they use it to get undercoat overspray off paint

 

You may have broken the whole base. I know I did when I was trying to put on my shorty antenna. Costed more more than I wanted to spend.

 

any vids on that 2jz swap lol

 

same thing happend to my friend. wouldt move at all. he had to have the dealer rip the thing out and replace the whole base and everything

 

Happened to me, too.

Same as explained, you go to turn the antenna to unscrew it and the base attached to the inside of the trunck snaps off. Replacements can be found at crate engine depot, gm parts direct or gm parts east.

 

this guys alive!
