My antenna broke and I'd like to remove it, well change it if it's not expensive. If I only remove it, what do I use to fill up the antenna hole?

 

i just removed mine today. preety simple actually. when you look at teh anteena tip, you see 2 small holes. well you have to trun that piece out counter-clockwise. once you remove that peice, you pull it out and the nremove the 2 bolts that hold the antenna inside the quaretr panel, disconncet the connector and the cable that runs to the deck. you cant fill the antenna hole unless you have a body shop fill it up with Bondo/[lastic filler and then paint over it. so just replace it.

 

use some needle nose pliars for that first step

 

permanent smooth solution--You could form a sheet of steel to fit the holes, weld it in, then smooth, sand, and paint it. Probably best left to a body shop
ugly but cheap--just cover it with duct tape any redneck can show you how
redneck solution-- fill it with bondo. wont last. bondo would never cure if applied that thick + it a big hole and the filler needs some kind of support. a mesh reinforced fiberglass filler might work though.

 

How much does an antenna cost?

 

i have one in 1-2 weeks from a parts car if you want to wait for that. i sell it cheap to you. just go to the parts section for 4th gen max and check my thread out and psot that you got dibs on it.

 

If you broke the mast only, you can replace it with an OEM part for about $30 or an aftermarket for about $15.

 

speaking of antennas i saw a guy tonight getting pulled over, probably for the reason that he had at least a 5 foot long (not exaggerating) antenna on the roof of his car. He could prolly pick up signals from other planets it was so big. -just thought id share

 

lol, what's the purpose of it?

where is your other thread for parts? I didn't see it. can you post a link?

 

heh.. you can get in trouble for them?

 

theres a lot of them on ebay for around 12 bucks. they say its OEM style. i too have a broken antenna and might order it off of EBAy.

channel-locks. grab the antenna nut and twist. needle nose pliers tend to slip and scratch.
