Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
- The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface, the couplings and the glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation. Allow 6-8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation. Otherwise the new coupling may not adhere.
- Do not use using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. to reinstall the original couplings. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
- Disconnect the coaxial cable from the inner coupling of the mobile communication antenna.NOTE: If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the blade carefully. Damage to the grid lines may result.
- Use a small wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double-back tape material while lifting up on the inner antenna coupling.
