Coupling Replacement - Antenna Outer

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT:
^ To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular exterior base or interior coupling and the glass surface, the base, coupling and glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation and for the 24 hours immediately following the installation. Not keeping the vehicle dry and above the temperature listed for 24 hours may result in the new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling coming off.
^ Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system that includes air bag deployment notification.




1. Remove the antenna mast from the outer coupler.
2. Use a razor blade or a putty knife in order to cut the double back tape material (1) while lifting up on the external antenna coupling (5).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Clean the exterior glass (4) and the external antenna coupling (5) with alcohol.
2. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint free cloth.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the inner and outer antenna couplings are aligned.

3. The antenna coupling (5) is attached approximately 152 mm (6 in) from the right window edge midway between the antenna gridline and the defogger gridline.
4. Press firmly on all 4 corners in order to ensure proper bonding between the adhesive and the glass.
