How do you replace an antenna in a 1998 Honda civic?

Answer 1

Remove the lower dash panel under the steering wheel. Open the glove box, push in on the sides to release the stops, and let it open all the way to the floor. Remove the four screws holding on the center lower dash panel, unhook the 12v socket and remove the panel. Look up into the bottom of the radio assembly, there are four 8mm screws holding the radio assembly into the dash. They are gold in color. Remove these screws and slide the entire assembly forward out of the dash. Disconnect all plugs from the stereo, climate control, and hazard light switch. The large black wire you disconnected from stereo is the antenna lead. Tie a long string around this wire. On the drivers A pillar, remove the two torx screws holding the antenna to the body. Pull the antenna until all the wiring comes out, including your string. Tie the lead of the new antenna to the string. Pull the string from inside the car to fish the new lead tho the proper place in the dash. Installation is the reverse of removal.
