Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Clean the glass at the installation location inside and outside with an alcohol wipe.
- Install the new antenna base to the outside of the glass so that measurement (a) is 12 mm (0.47 in) and measurement (b) is 215 mm (8.5 in) rearward of the third pillar.
- Install the new antenna base to the inside of the glass so that measurement (a) is 12 mm (0.47 in) and measurement (b) is 215 mm (8.5 in) rearward of the third pillar.
- Connect the coaxial cable to the cell antenna base.
IMPORTANT:
The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the base.
To obtain maximum adhesion between the new antenna base and the glass surface, the base and the glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation. Allow 6 to 8 hours at 15°C (60°F) for the adhesive to cure after installation.
Do not use any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. to reinstall the original antenna base. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal to transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
