I just popped the base out of mine a couple of weeks ago. Here's what you do:
1) Pop out the map light assembly. Use a small screwdriver to get it out. It comes out pretty easy There are a couple of plugs for the
lights that you need to pop off.
2) Remove the 2 torx screws holding the rest of the assembly to the roof and gently pull on it and it should come off.
3) Remove the dark foam insert.
4) Remove 1 screw holding in the base.
i just painted my antenna base and remodel the new billet antenna too. i will post some pix later...cause it raining and i can't taking picture. my new antenna is looking cool...you guys will love it.
Send me your address and i will send you one for "FREE" you are the first one that repplied and interested in my design...i will give you the first one for free.
i live in North Cal, San jose and the reception was fine to me...i have the billet from Chromacougar and when i compare it to chroma i think my work the same.
San Jose? San Jose! You did not just say San Jose! That's my home town. Lived there for 26 years. Been living out here in Illinois for the last 8. How is the land of the Sharks and the home of the Rhinos? Been over two years since I've been back. If I do get back there anytime in the near future and it's during a time when your chapter has a meet, I would really like to drop in.
