I'm getting ready to stripe the roof of my cr/w 2003 mc, and I need to know how I go about removing the antenna to install the stripe. Any one know a quick and painless way to do this? I know the antenna itself just screws on, I need to know how to remove the base.

 

The black base to the antenna also screws off, just give it a twist and it should come right off. :smile:

 

Thanks. Will give it a try and get those stripes ordered! :smile:

 

Good luck with the stripe install!

The base just screws off? Hmmm...haven't heard that before...are you serious?

 

The black plastic base does...well it does on my mini. Under the base is a screw or bolt looking thingy that doesnt come off, dont know of a better way to describe it

 

Ordering one custom, haven't seen any roof stripes made up of small squares here in central Ohio. I drew it on Autocad, scaled it down to 1/28 and taped it on a diecast....looks pretty good to me. Good enough that i'm gonna try it on the big one!!
