Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
- The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- The adhesion promoter must be used to obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface. The couplings and the glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation. Allow 6-8 hours at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation. Otherwise the new coupling may come off.
- Do not use any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. to reinstall the original couplings. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
- Install the inner coupling (2) first if both the inner and the outer coupling (5) are being replaced. Refer to COUPLING REPLACEMENT - ANTENNA INNER
.NOTE: If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the blade carefully. Damage to the grid lines may result.
- Use a small wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double back tape material (1) while lifting up on the outer antenna coupling (5).
