#150573 hi everyone i am getting my hatch sprayed and i am removing moldings and windows to make it easier for the spray painter does anybody know how to remove the antenna from the roof?

i have tried undoing both screws and pulling it a little bit but i do not want to break anything so help would be appreciated thanks.

#150577 the antenna cable goes down through the a pillar then to the radio. just cut it off at the top unless u wanna keep it. then u have to pull it through but its taped to all the wires rinning through that pillar. kind of a bitch.

#150597 I took the black plastic cover off and was able to push the antenna down into the hole a little bit for painting. Then pulled it out after paint and it was good to go :thumb:
