If you want to change just the antenna it just unscrews. If you need to change the base I had to do it on my 99 vw beetle. At the back of the roof liner there is a plastic piece that comes off with a trim tool. You can get your hand up there to remove the bolt and then replace the base. The base cost me $65.00 Cdn at the dealers. Just use the old nut then you won't have to buy another one as they charge $10.00
On mine it is mounted on the center rear of the roof.
Pull the headliner and access in the middle of the car behind the sunroof. Or if you want just the antenna, not the cable-to-the-antenna, stand outside the car and unscrew it. very carefully

This may help.... my wife's 2000 Beetle had terrible reception and static. I purchased a longer antenna on-line and installed it (very easy on the Beetle). Problem solved.

No it's like changing an alternator but you will have to recharge when done.
To change the antenna motor in a 2000 Toyota 4Runner, start by removing the interior trim panel around the antenna base to access the motor. Disconnect the wiring harness and unbolt the old motor from its mounting bracket. Install the new antenna motor by securing it in place, reconnecting the wiring harness, and then reassembling the trim panel. Finally, test the antenna to ensure it operates correctly.
The antenna connection, for your 2000 Ford Taurus, is on the back of the radio. The antenna cable goes from the radio to the connection in the windshield.
The consumption of a 2000 VW Beetle is about one quart of oil for?æbetween 1500 to 2000 miles. I may be a useful?æto change the oil ?æand filter every 5000 miles to keep the engine in good condition.
