Ford F3SZ-18813-A Aerial Kit

Unplug the radio from its dashboard position and take away the antenna connection on its back. Pull the antenna cable out from where it clips to the plastic parts at the top of the defroster nozzle. Take off the antenna top gently with a little screwdriver by releasing it from its base. On the later models from 1997, start with pulling the sleeve, unscrew the mast, and then remove the cap and mounting screws, always removing the mast first. Secure string double-ended on radio antenna end and where it plugs into the instrument panel. Pull the new antenna cable following the path where the original wire passed. Gentle pulling on the antenna cable through a body opening removes the screws holding the base to the radio body, allowing you to pull the cable out along with the antenna and soft rubber gasket. Following the removal work, we insert a fresh gasket, untie the pieces of string, slide the string onto the antenna wire, slowly feed the wire and string backward from through the body space, and finally dispose of the string.
