Coupling Replacement - Antenna Inner
Removal Procedure
Important:
*
Use the adhesion promoter to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
*
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface, keep the couplings and the glass dry
and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation. Allow 6-8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation. Otherwise
the new coupling may not adhere.
*
Do not use any type of glue or adhesive tapes to reinstall the original couplings. 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 inner coupling of the mobile communication antenna.
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 inner antenna coupling.
Installation Procedure
1. Clean the inside of the rear window with an alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint free cloth.
Important:
*
You must use an adhesion promoter to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
*
Mask off or protect areas before applying the adhesion promoter.
Apply glass adhesion promoter GM P/N 12378555 (Canadian P/N 88901239) to the rear window in the area where you will install the antenna
coupling. Follow the instructions on the product label.
Important:
*
The RF connections for the inner antenna coupling should run parallel to the defogger grid line.
*
Align the inner and the outer antenna couplings.
*
Do not touch the adhesive backing on the antenna coupling.
Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing on the inner antenna coupling.
