is there a how to for removing your stock antenna? if so someone please send me the link, i couldnt find it

 

twist it to the left??? lol

 

tried that lol...kinda felt like something was going to break and i wasnt trying to have that.

 

Way to be a dick Kev.... lol

It's not gonna break. If you look at it right at the base, you can see it has two flat sides. If you want to protect the black paint on it, put some tape or something on the flat sides, then take an adjustable wrench, adjust it snug, and turn left. It may be tight but it will come off. The base doesn't come off tho, just the antenna pole and you are left with a screw sticking up. Find a cover and you are all set.

 

got it, thanks. however the new shorty antenna i bought...didnt fit, had to put the old one right back on.....awesome.

 

what year is the car. betwwen 2006 and 2007 they changed. not sure in the spec, but they wont fit the other

 

i wrote a how to actually. hang on

nevermind. just saw you got it off

 

but that's how you do it!! lol

 

Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty. And a pair of pliers if it doesn't budge

 

yea im 06...why the hell would they change the thread on a freaking antenna for one year??

 

*CRINGE* NO! NO Pliers! No Adjustable Wrenches, that is how you ROUND **** OFF!

Use the PROPER size wrench!
The RIGHT tool for the RIGHT job!

 

umm... adjustable wrench was perfect for me. I don't agree with pliers but you can't beat a good crescent wrench for these things.

 

just take a set of bolt cutters to the stock antenna and super glue a vacuum cap to the top: easy, cheap shorty antenna

 

"Crescent" Wrenchs, or as I call adjustable wrenches, seeing as Crescent is a manufacture of tools like Craftsman, Snap-on, Mac ect. They are alright.. I use them if I have to, but I always MUCH rather use the right size combo wrench, with a preferance to the box end, espes if its something higher torque.

 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

*takes breath*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

You do make an excellent point.

 

then you end up like me with a broken antenna base

 

mine didnt budge at first... finally got it off and then i found out i got shipped the wrong one... mine had a sweet male thread on it

 

Yea, I grew up using them interchangeably. Kinda like calling all cotton swabs q-tips. I used an adjustable wrench on my antenna because it took no torque what so ever, and i didn't want to risk scratching it trying to get a snug fit with a wrench. There was more than enough flat surface area for the adjustable.
