Window Mount Cellular Antenna

I need to remove my cellular antanna from my F150. Is there a process for doing this? I removed the little cap on the inside part, and apparantly there is a bolt that holds it on?

Does it just stick on? When I removed mine, I just parked it in the sun and slowly peeled it off. Then I used a razor blade to remove the residue. The bolt isn't for the antenna mast?

The bolt doesn't go through the windshield, so I don't know what the bolt is used for?

I've had it there for around 9 years, and it still works, so I want to keep it and put it in a new truck. I just can't figure out how it's attached.

I guess I should call Alltel!

It's attached with super glue, like the rearview mirror. It uses some kind of induction to get the signal through the glass. (I'm going on what my old one had, I'm not an expert.)

You should be able to get it off by using a razor blade between each side of the antenna mount and the glass. Just don't pry, or the razor blade shatters and the sharp parts hurt.
