Welcome

Thank you for purchasing a RetroAntenna

®

 power antenna. This antenna features fully automatic operation. This unique antenna allows you 

to mount the motor separately from the antenna, which facilitates installation for vehicles with limited space. Care must be taken during the 
installation to make sure that the antenna mast functions properly before finalizing the install. Please note that this antenna does not work 
with antenna systems requiring a switch. 

Our antenna uses a standard end designed to fit most applications. Some factory radios for 1995 and newer Fords, 1988 and newer GMs and 
some imports use a unique connector at the radio, and an adapter may be needed. Contact a local car audio shop for the correct 
adapter part if one is needed.

1. Removing the Old Antenna

a)   Disconnect the battery before you begin. Gain access to the underside of the fender area through the trunk, fender, splash panel, etc.

b)   Remove and disassemble the old antenna and base. Retain the old base and mounting parts for your reference. In some cases you 

can reuse them if you wish to keep the old look. Remove the mounting bracket, drain tube, electrical wires and antenna coaxial cable. 
When removing electrical wires and the coaxial cable from the antenna, follow the wire’s path to the closest connector and 
disconnect. DO NOT CUT THE COAXIAL CABLE

c)   Remove the old antenna from below the fender.
