Antenna replacement?

[cdipierr]

The antenna on our 2000 XE broke off the other day. It looks like I'll have to go up through the fender (after removing the dirt splash coverings) to replace it. Is this correct? Is there an install guide somewhere on the net?

And also has anyone done a power antenna install? The antenna isn't too far from the head unit, so does the stock unit have a power antenna control line?

I've got to figure out a way to make that IMPORTANT! sign in this forum bigger, or maybe flashing.....

Which is of course why I reposted it elsewhere. But gee...you sure make a newcomer seem welcome. Perhaps as a mod you can just quietly move posts instead?

You are welcome here.

As a visitor you also need to do a few things on your part.

1) Read notes/guidelines in forums before posting. If they're there, it's because the moderator wants certain info put in a specific place to make it accessible to others on the board, or certain offtopic threads continue to appear in the wrong place. If you look at the thread, OffroadX was asking for the post to be "sticky" because time and time again people are posting questions instead of instructions in this specific subforum.

2) Don't double post. This is standard etiquette on message boards and is expected to reduce information being spread across the board instead of one specific thread. Again for the benefit of the users of the board.

3) Search first for info then ask. Once again this is to reduce redundant threads about the same subject that spreads info all over the place and makes it difficult for visitors to quickly find information. It is also annoying to members of a board who continually get asked the same question over and over, instead of the visitor doing their part by searching first. Your question does not exactly fit this problem (unless you didn't search), but there is info regarding the subject.

Here is what a search returned about your question (maybe it helps).

Info 1
Info 2
Info 3

Lastly, it is not a moderators job to clean up after visitors who don't follow basic board rules. I'm sorry you don't feel welcome. Try and not think of this as an attack specifically at you, but rather info for other visitors to improve material provided on the board (which is why this is so lengthy).

Again, welcome.

I read the guideline after posting, you're right, that's my bad. I didn't have a choice about double posting because your message here obviously asked people to stay away from answering.

As for searching, I read all 3 threads in question before posting, but none answer my question. Thanks for the try though.

One more tip, don't quote the entire post above yours, it's pretty obvious what you're responding to
