Applicability

Introduction

The base of the radio antenna pole on some models is designed with a hex-cut base and requires installation using a wrench. When performing PDS or installing the antenna pole for any other reason inspect the antenna base for a hex-cut to determine if the following procedure is required.

Repair Procedure

The radio antenna pole and wrench are loaded inside the vehicle at the assembly plant to avoid damage in transit. Install the antenna during PDS according to the instructions below and place the wrench in the glove box for the customer.

1. Remove the protective shipping plug from the antenna base of the fender.

2. Screw the antenna pole into the antenna base and tighten by hand until fully seated.





3. Using an 8 mm wrench fully tighten the antenna pole by rotating the base 1/8 of a turn (20 to 45 degrees) clockwise.
