the radio was off... my antenna is screwed up and has been for about 5 years... It won't go down. I need to rip it out and put in a stubby or something... just not sure how the thing mates up to the body of the car. So I've been reluctant to pull it out...

Ahh I see.. I believe the antenna unit is in the hatch, rear passenger side panel, where the spare tire would be, along the body of the car.

yea it is... i guess I'm talking more about the little rubber grommet thing on the outside of the car that the antenna mates too... dunno how that comes off and i'm guessing there will be a big *** hole there if I take it out so...

ha my antenna just starting giving me the opposite problem. The little nut that keeps it from coming out all the way came off some how. So when i went to turn on my radio doing 45 i got to look in the rear view and see my antenna go flying out of the fender and go for a drag on the ground

I fixed mine by cutting it off with a hacksaw and then putting a nice piece of blue tape over the hole to keep the water out
