Ford AL8Z-18813-A Aerial Kit

First, for the 2010 and the earlier models, turn under the instrument panel, release the antenna cable at the lead-in connector, and free it from the plastic clips. This too is attached through the use of a small screw that is located at the back of the device There is a cap that needs to be unscrewed to remove the antenna. Attach a string or wire at the radio end of the coax and use this to help pull the new cable through the same run. Take out the three screws losing the antenna base to the body; gently pull the antenna cable together with the antenna base and the gasket through the body slot. If required, remove the antenna lead-in cable from the radio and if possible slide out of the clips. For the 2011 models, in order to remove the antenna you must unscrew the antenna from the base, use a small screw driver to remove the base cover and take out the screws to detach the antenna base from the cowl. Remove the connector of the antenna cable from the base then have a string or wire to attach to the extremity of the cable for the new connection. Take out the radio and exit the antenna cable at the back of the radio unit. Pop the glove box wide open, take the gasket at the back and pull out the cable through the existing hole. As in removal, installation is the reverse and requires the provision of a new gasket when reinstalling and when attaching the string or wire to the newer antenna cable, one must pull it back through the hole into place before releasing the string or wire.
