Antenna Delete

You can remove your antenna from its position and run it along the inside of the quarter panel under the hood. I still have reception too!

 

Antenna mount, just unbolt it from there:

Run it alongside the quarter panel, underneath that lip the hood sits on... Secure with black zip ties:

Just did mine and it worked really good with my shorty ant. I also ordered the cowling for no ant. part #15113342.

or you could just put one of these on to cover up the hole were the antenna was.

Just deleted mine over the weekend. Lost no reception.. I like it. I slipped a rubber grommet into the hole first - then pushed a plastic plug into it with the same texture as the wiper cowl area.. I like it. The antenna under the hood with the zip tie.. ugly. but hidden none the less and works.. thx

GM has a right side cowl piece to replace the one with the antenna hole in it. its off of a cadillac. an earlier post had a part number in it, im just letting everyone know about it again and let you know that the number has been changed to GM# 15287179

I did this mod & loved the look without the antenna. The part that sucks is that I live about 80 miles from the closest "big" city and I lost reception, even with a ground wire. I still had reception, but had more static, so I put it back to normal. I guess it's time for me to buy the XM receiver for my D3.

there are 3 "clips" that hold it in. I was successful with two of them, the other one is now in the trash haha. I just did this mod yesterday and i can honestly say it looks a million times better!

 

To those who did the wire ground thing, can anyone post pix of their set up? i have no clue what to do haha

I really dont think it makes a difference if you ground it or not, but I just found a nut that fit the threads on the bottom of the antenna and attached a wire to that, the other end goes right to where the base was mounted and I just used one of the bolts that was in it. I got the same reception with and without the ground wire...
