Repair Procedure

Install the SIRIUS satellite radio interior antenna tape kit according to the instructions below.

3. Remove the release tabs from the back of the antenna, and place the antenna in the proper position over the mounting pad.

4. By hand firmly apply pressure upward and massage all 3 corners of the antenna to assure complete wet-out of the tape pads.

NOTE:
