How can I remove the antenna from the trunk of my Sebring 2010 Convertible? Turning it counterclockwise it just spins endlessly.

Under the rubber is a metal sleave that covers the core of the antenna. First try using a pair of channel lock pliers gripped at the base of the antenna to loosen it. If that does not work you might have to use a razor blade to cut off the rubber so you can grab the base with your pliers without it spinning.

The antenna should unscrew. You may need to use a pair of pliers to loosen it. Try wrapping a rag around the new one so you don't damage it with the pliers teeth. Only snug it. Don't crank on it because you could strip the threads out.

You need to pop off the covers at the rear end of the vehicle using a flat head screw driver or similar prying tool. Also helps to unscrew the antenna prior to inserting the crossbars.

I bought mine as a replacement for the broken antenna whip on my 2011 Buick Enclave. It was the correct part for my application, the whip having male threads and the rooftop antenna base having female threads. It would seem that this other customer purchase the wrong part for his application.

I move the antenna from one vehicle to another, also the radio. I open the door and let the door close on it. you have to be careful, on the new vehicles the door closes tighter. damaging the coax cable. Hope this helps.

I had that happen and found the antena had come loose on back of radio. Had to spread out the tabs on the plug to make it hold tighter. Normal vibration caused it.

It can be re-programmed! The easiest way is at the Racing Radios trailer at the race track. They charge $10 bucks and it takes about 5 minutes. You can buy a longer antenna.

the stud that the antenna wire screws onto unscrews from the stud that the antenna whip hooks to. Once you remove that stud the other one slides up.

not much more then some simple hand tools the hardest part is removing plastic trim around radio, if you use a small piece of hard plastic this will help pry away the trim without breaking it

I am a ham operator and have installed more auto antennas than I could count. This has a long whip, short whip looks to be just chopped for photo. Assume you are going to use a trunk lip mount that will require at least 1 of the mount screws to go to metal under lip of trunk. Should be able to get swr down to 1.5 to 1 depending on how close the whip is to metal. this antenna worked out just fine for me. Steve -WB9SNS

No, I tried everything I could think of and couldn't get it out. That's why I had to buy the new base and a new antenna also. For the 8$ or whatever it was for the base I figured it was not worth my time to attempt to get it out. You could try a junk yard for both the mast and the base. I think the base was used across several years of Focus'.

John, I installed mine in a 2006 Avalon. It's fairly large, so I put mine in the trunk. There was a power wire already there so installation was simple. The antenna is great, one of the best I've ever had. The stock sharkfin antenna is so poor it doesn't pull in any distant stations, that's why I opted for this one.

I have a street glide, so I removed the antenna and put a rubber cap on the antenna stud. You can also get a rubber cover for the hole that the antenna comes out of at a Harley dealer.

Hello Stan, where are you mounting your antenna mounts? Using the firestik MKM2 body mount will solve this problem as the antenna is not NGP but the antenna mount is. I used the mount on my truck bed cross over tool box and did not need to ground the box to the frame of my truck. I used one for my Uniden SSB Radio and one for my Unuden Scanner. Both work great. I hope this helps.
