1995 e-300d-w124 antenna removal

[DENNIS NOLTE]

I am a DIY newbee and would like any assistance with removing the antenna assembly so I can replace the mast or the entire power antenna assembly

Thanks
Dennis

You need to pull the trunk liner from the left side of the trunk, I find it easiest if you start by pulling the tabs above and below the taillamp forward and inward, then as you pull tuck the top down under the trunk spring & hinge, it will roll inward and out of the way.

The antenna assembly is held in place by the nut around the mast (top of the quarter-panel) and one bolt at the bottom of the motor assembly in the trunk. Three electrical connections are on the assembly: two antenna wires, and one power multi-plug, must be disconnected.

The antenna assembly can be removed with the mast fully extended, but it is somewhat easier with the mast retracted. Simple as that.

Thank you very much for the straight forward instructions on removal of the antenna...Dennis
