replacing broken antenna

[daveg62]

How does the antenna mount to the roof on the Versa? I broke mine and need to replace the base but don't have a clue as to how to get it off. Do you have to remove the headliner or is it glued on somehow?

The procedure is described starting on page AV-41 of the Versa Service Manual.

Here it is in a nutshell.

1. For hatchback, remove the luggage side upper finisher (LH).2. For sedan, remove the rear pillar finisher.3. Remove rear assist grip (LH).4. Remove three clips of headlining (rear side). Pull down headlining (rear side) and obtain space for work between vehicle and headlining.5. Disconnect the roof antenna harness connectors.6. Remove nut (A) and clips (B).7. Remove the roof antenna.

Then try to put the headliner back up correctly Sounds like a half day job the very first time and is easy to &$&$& up. Probably 10 minutes after the 10th time!
