In the future id like to walnut blast the intake tract and other preventative maintenance things. Just trying to find a shop that's familiar with that sort of stuff and knows the platform.

I looked for a video on how to replace it. There are many videos of how to replace the rear mounted antenna on a hard top, but couldn’t find one for a vert.

Does anyone have experience with this? Curious to know how much of the interior needs to be removed to access the hardware.

I should note that the radio does not work. Could be related, but probably not. Either way the first step is to replace the antenna. Thanks. ]]> R57 :: Cabrio Talk (2009+) Tori123 https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/r57-cabrio-talk-2009/373818-base-conv-antenna-replacement.html
