Im having problems removing the cap on the antenna. The piece chrome piece above the rubber thing that teg tips says to remove with a screwdriver. is this think like superglued or something? i tried crutchfield’s way using needle nose pliers and the instructions on the teg tips page. i have no idea how to get it off…
It’s not a cap. You unscrew that piece off. That’s why they suggest using needle nose pliers, because you stick the plier ends in the notches opposite of each other on that “cap” that you refered to, then twist counter-clockwise like you normally would with a screw or bolt to take it off.
ive tried unscrewing it… doesnt budge much… tried monkey wrench counterclockwise too…
well if you cant unscrew it… try pulling all the plastic off the back of your trunk…mine just unscrewed but who knows… there could be something holding it on underneath there…
Hey, i know what you mean. I’ve tryed several times to take mine off, to replace my intenna. That f***en thing will not budge, it really pissed me off!!
See if you can get to it from inside the trunk panel…maybe use some wd-40 or something to loosen it up?
tried the wd40… no go… as last resort brought it to my mechanic…
he didnt have a good time with it either… he finally got it out after cutting up the rubber stop and pulled the whole thing out… damn this thing was in there really good
I use a flat head screwdriver and a small hammer. BE VERY CAREFUL when doing this. Place the flat head screwdriver into one of the slots as if you were going to “push” it counterclockwise. Then gently tap the screwdriver with the hammer. It will come loose. Best of luck and let me know if you need any help. Later.
