'91 Civic HB Antenna -- HELP!!!

Discussion in 'Civic' started by Brandy  Alexandre, Jun 26, 2005.

  1. Someone broke off my antenna and I decided I could replace it myself.
    I bought the new one, snipped the old one and taped the cable to the
    new to pull it down and through. Welp, the tape unstuck and I pull out
    the old antenna cable. The dumbest thing in the world I did was not
    look first to see just where the cable comes in. Now I can't get the
    new antenna cable down. Worse yet, I just lost a coathanger down
    there.

    Should I mention at this point that I'm blonde?

    Anyway, can someone tell me where the antenna cable comes out under the
    dahs so I can look in the right place and see if I can (1) retrieve the
    hanger, and (2) bring down the new cable (taped in a few places, this
    time)?

    I appreciate your help. :)

    there's a hole in the side panel just behind the hood release lever.
    just poke the cable from the new antenna down the door pillar and it
    should emerge in the area of the hole. it'll be a bit fiddly without
    using a cable pull, but it is do-able. you'll need a light & some
    needle nose pliers. being a contortionist helps too.

  4. Thank you SOOOO much. I got it! I retrieved the lost hanger, was able
    to find the feed, and voila! I didn't need the pliers, but, yes, being
    a contortionist was helpful. ;)
