Monte Carlo V6-3.8L SC VIN 1 (2004)
Global Positioning System Antenna: Service and Repair
Coupling Replacement - Antenna Inner
COUPLING REPLACEMENT - ANTENNA INNER
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
-
Use adhesion promoter to ensure adequate bonding of the coupling.
-
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface, the couplings and the glass must be kept dry and
above 15°C (60°F) during installation. Allow 6 to 8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation. Otherwise, the new
couplings may not adhere.
-
Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior coupling or inner coupling using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so
may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment
notification.
1. Disconnect the coaxial cable from the mobile communication antenna inner coupling.
NOTE: If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the
blade carefully. Damage to the grid lines may result.
2. Use a small wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double back tape material while lifting up on the inner antenna coupling (2).
