How do you replace a Toyota Tercel antenna?

Answer 1

For the 1992 and 1994 models (and likely many other years), the antenna is attached to the roof of the vehicle by two Phillips screws. After removing these screws, the unit will slide out of its hole towards the rear of the vehicle.

There should be a translucent white tube where the antenna slides into and a black cable.

The black cable runs through the body of the car to the back of the radio. This can be seen from the passenger's side footwell and reached from the driver's footwell. Detach the cable from the back of the radio and attach a retrieval string or twine to the radio end of the cable.

Remove the antenna assembly from the car roof, allowing the retrieval line to exit out of the mounting hole. Detach the line from the old antenna cable and tie it to the end of the new antenna cable. Use the retrieval line to thread the new cable through the car frame back into the passenger compartment. Detach your guide line and plug the new antenna cable into the radio and screw the new antenna assembly into its mounting hole on the roof.
