Just did it... You have to buy an exact OEM replacement. Unscrew the antenna unit by removing the two screws. Pull out the remaining metal antenna and the wire. A plastic tube that houses the antenna will need to be removed. I was unable to remove the antenna cable as it is clipped behind the dash. I cut the wire leaving about 6 inches remaining above the roof of the car.

Remove the inside trim along the top of the driverside door, all the way to the fron window. Additionally, remove the small trim piece along the edge of the door beside the drivers side dash.

With the new antenna unit, begin to thread the antenna cable through the existing roof opening along-side the original cable that remains. As you thread the cable through the body, take notice of a hole in the body on the inside of the car above the drivers side door. You should see the new cable pass by the hole. Pull the cable through the hole.(I had to enlarge the hole to accomodate the plug that attaches to the radio. I used a dremel tool with a grinding bit to slightly enlarge the hole.)

Once you get the antenna cable through the hole, pass the metal antenna and cable through the hole in the roof until you can mount the antenna housing to the roof using the two screws.

Run the cable under the door trim and down under the dash. Make sure the new cable does not interfere with your steering wheel or and thnig else.

I would have loved to see this before taking on this project.
