replacing antenna
My antenna is broken off. If someone standing outside the truck touches the broken off shaft, the reception comes in great, so I take it the cable is still good. How do I remove and replace the old antenna? Do I need to take the dash apart? Take the radio out? Glove box?

replacing antenna
I too faced the same challange. The antenna is on the right hand side, close to the curb and invites any juvie to twist it off. It looked like a bear to replace so I moved my antenna to the left, leaving the broken one in place. It was still a chore to drill through two layers of fender/cowling to pass the cable through but was worth it. I really like the left placement as I can now load long things from the right without worry. I also park the truck next to a tree and the branches treatened the antenna every time I parked. This approch solved a number of problems, may offend some purists and works great for me.
