'91 Civic HB Antenna -- HELP!!!
Someone broke off my antenna and I decided I could replace it myself.
I bought the new one, snipped the old one and taped the cable to the new to pull it down and through. Welp, the tape unstuck and I pull out the old antenna cable. The dumbest thing in the world I did was not look first to see just where the cable comes in. Now I can't get the new antenna cable down. Worse yet, I just lost a coathanger down there. Should I mention at this point that I'm blonde? Anyway, can someone tell me where the antenna cable comes out under the dahs so I can look in the right place and see if I can (1) retrieve the hanger, and (2) bring down the new cable (taped in a few places, this time)? I appreciate your help. :) -- Brandy Alexandre® http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? |

I got it! I retrieved the lost hanger, was able to find the feed, and voila! I didn't need the pliers, but, yes, being a contortionist was helpful. ;) -- Brandy Alexandre® http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? |
