C 3500 Truck 2WD V8-6.6L DSL Turbo VIN 1 (2002)
Removal Procedure
Important:
Use the described adhesion promoter to assure adequate bonding of the coupling to the glass.
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 the installation and for the 6-8 hours immediately following the installation. Otherwise the new couplings may come off.
Also, disregard the drying or curing time information listed in the instructions included in the replacement antenna coupling kits. In the near future,
those instructions will be updated with the drying or curing times listed in this bulletin.
^
Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular couplings 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.
Install the inner coupling first if both the inner and the outer coupling are to be replaced.
Refer to Coupling Replacement - Antenna Inner.
Notice:
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 outer antenna coupling.
Installation Procedure
1.
Clean the glass with an alcohol wipe.
2.
Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint free cloth.
Important:
The glass adhesion promoter described in the next step must be used to ensure a bonding of the coupling to the glass surface. Failure to use the
described adhesion promoter may result in the coupling coming off the glass.
