This piece needs to be unscrewed. I used a needle nose pliers; use whatever works without destroying it. When you unscrew that and take the 3 bolts off, the assembly will drop down into the car. This is also a chance to replace that rubber cone thingy that the antenna pokes through with a new one, since it's probably all crappy looking by now.

I have a replacement antenna/motor in good shape; if you want it, PM me.


Back to the original thread: You can use another antenna but I don't think any that stick on the roof will look right. All you would have to do is run an antenna cable up to wherever you put it and make a hole in the roof for it to pass through. If I were going to shave the antenna, I'd put an antenna inside the trunk lid, where it's out of sight, but should get alright reception since the trunk is fiberglass.

haha thanks dude, you rock!
