Notice: In order to avoid damaging the antenna lead connector, follow these guidelines:
*
Use a plastic tool and carefully pry the connector from the window.

Do NOT pull on the connector, which may be stuck to the urethane adhesive or the headliner.
3. Disconnect the antenna lead located on the rear quarter window, if equipped.
4. Disconnect the OnStar(TM) Connector located on the rear quarter window, if equipped.
Important: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. Do this from inside the vehicle to protect the painted surface.

The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
