How do I remove the old radio antenna from the roof of the car so I can replace it? We've been trying to unscrew it.

Hi tpuckett71477,

The antenna is held by 2 screws that could have rusted over time and would be difficult to unloosen. Some rust remover left to soak would help.

After removal of screws, the antenna can be poulled out. Remember to unplug from radio first and attach a strong piece of string to enable you to pull the new antenna cable in.
