replacing antenna

[papabear92499]

Does anyone know how to replace a motorized antenna on a 92 grand marquis? Seems it is in a real tight spot. I have a Metra RoadWorks replacement but have no idea how to take the original out.

5. Remove nuts and push pins from wheel well.
6. From above wheel well, remove all items held in place by push pins.
7. Lift up on wheel well and be careful with battery
tray area. Remove wheel well.
8. Remove plastic cover hiding power antenna with push pin at top.
9. Remove top crown nut holding power antenna mast in place. Use needle nose pliers.
