Glass Antenna Repair

To make an effective repair, the broken section must be no longer than one inch.

1.	Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A) with fine steel wool, and then clean it with alcohol.

2.	Carefully mask above and below the broken portion of the glass antenna wire (B) with cellophane tape (C).

Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver conductive paint (A) extending about 1/8?on both sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.

Thoroughly mix the paint before use.

4.	Check for continuity in the repaired wire.

5.	Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry three hours before removing the tape.

1.	Remove the rear pillar trim. (Refer to Body - "Rear Pillar Trim")

2.	Disconnect the antenna amp power connector (A) from the glass antenna amp.

Turn the radio ON.

Measure the voltage between terminals of the antenna amp power connector (A) and body ground (B).

OK : approximately 12V (ACC+)

Check for radio antenna wire resistance between terminals of the antenna connector (A) and body ground (B).
