Does anyone have some suggestions on how to route the antenna wire into the car. I tried to snake the wire down with the old antenna wire, but it came apart. Now I have to get the new wire down and into the car and i have not been having much luck. Any suggestions on where i go from here? Its a 99 civic hatch. --chris
try using a piece of coathanger wire, and fish it thru top to bottom. when it comes out the bottom, near the fuse box, reattach the antenna lead to the coathangar sticking out the hole up top.
(Mackie1230) decided to join the conversation on 01 Dec 2003 with message had to do this in my 91 civic... eventually what worked for me was taping the end of the antenna wire to a wire hanger.. and shoving the whole thing down the pillar.. after reaching the end of the hanger, i just kept feeding the antenna wire down. once the plug stuck out the other end, i grabbed everything and yanked it through.. a 2 hour job, that woulda taken 5 minutes if i would've tied a string around the antenna wire before yanking it through. good luck. -- -Chris http://www.ChrisGarcia.com <- My Homepage http://www.chrisgarcia.com/cars/ <- *NEW* My cars http://www.chrisgarcia.com/dogs/ <- *Sort-of NEW* My dogs http://starwars.chrisgarcia.com/ <- Centerpoint Station, the "ghost- town" of the Star Wars Universe!
Tie a string on the old antenna plug. Unscrew antenna mount and pull antenna cable with attached string through the channel in the wall and up onto the roof. Remove old antenna and cable and tie string onto new plug on new antenna. Pull other end of string and cable will snake through the channel. Put screws back in the antenna mount. You're done !
