Guest lvrpool32 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I need to remove the antenna on my 64. I have removed the inspection cover and disconected the wires. What else do I need to do?Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It's been a while, but I think that once the inspection cover is off and the wires are unhooked, all you need to do is slide it out of the fender grommet and through the inspection cover hole. You should lower the antenna to its lowest position to make removal easier. I'll look tomorrow and see if there are any other brackets that need to be removed.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtash Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Nothing but pull it down and out. And it's easier if you bolt it to the inspection cover when installing it. If you're having an issue with it not working, run a ground wire to the case and use a jumper wire on the terminal to raise and lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lvrpool32 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 OK, a little ignorant here. Theres the rectangular chrome piece that sits on the fender (the outside of the fender) I am guessing this has to come off as there's no way it will fit through the hole. How does that come off, it looks like its part of the antenna body . Dont want to start yanking and pulling on something and break it.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push down on the base of the antenna mast and it should pop right out. Do not attempt to take off the chrome piece on the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The chrome bezel you're refering to comes off very easily. If you reach up inside the inspection hole, you can feel a spring clip on the base of the bezel. Slide it up parallel with the fender (it make take some force because the spring is tight) and the bezel will lift out from the top. The spring clip has a U-shaped opening in it that goes around the bezel. If you can look at it and shine a flashlight up there, it will all be self explanitory. If you can't figure it out, get back to me and I'll take a picture of a bezel and the clip that are already off the car.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
