antenna

Hey all,
I got a quick question for ya..i was cleaning my window and when i was leaning over the side of the truck i heard my antenna pop..guess i leaned just a little to hard and now it's loose and wobbling..i popped the hood..thinking it would be an easy fix..but it's looks like i would have to remove the fender to get to it..to tighten it up..any one know the proper way to fix it..any help would be appreciated..thanks

Hopefully someone else will chime in, 'cause I'm not sure, but it seems you'll either have to take off that fender or the cowl (and to get the cowl off without bending it, the hood). Hopefully someone will advise towards the fender (I've never done it), cause the hood can be a pita to put back on right

If you remove the 4 sheet metal screws then the antenna will come off of the cowl. The only thing holding it to the truck then will be the cable for the antenna.

Hello All. I just signed up and was able to quickly find a solution to a problem with tightening my antenna on my F150. This seems like a great site and good resource.
