how'd u get the w201 antenna and motor out?

I'm trying to take the antenna and the motor out so i can work on and try to fix them but for some reason I just can't figure out how to get them out of the car. Do I have to take out all of the plastic siding to get it out? If somebody could give me directions on what I'd have to undo that'd be a big help. Thanks.

201 - that's a 190 with the trunk mounted antenna, correct?

You'll have to pull the trunk liner to access the monuting bolts, don't know how many or what size. You will also have to remove the ferrule nut on the outside, the piece that compresses the antenna seal. Then everythig should just slip out. Can't think there would be much more to it.

What is the problem with the antenna? Dead motor or broken mast?

1. Remove the plastic fasteners that hold the felt material (covering the back of the trunk) to the black plastic siding. There should be three.

2. Start from the top and work down. Find where the siding ends under the lip of the trunk and pull the siding down away from the metal. Slowly work your way across the length of the plastic siding.

3. Gently work the siding out by compressing and pulling it. It is flexible so it can bend without doing damage to it...

4. Installation is the reverse of removal.

All the rest was covered in the previous post...the cover of the antenna is held on by several clips... a flat bladed screwdriver helps.
