VEHICLE PREPARATION, continued
3. Using a fiber stick, remove the driver's side scuff plate and driver's side kick panel cover. (FIGURE
C)
4. Remove the lower steering column shroud.
a. Remove (3) phillips head screws (1 dark machine head, 2 gold coarse thread). Note that the (2)
course screws go in the (2) holes closest to the steering wheel. (FIGURE D)
b. The top half of the shroud is connected to the dash and does not need to be totally removed but
the key courtesy light does need to be removed before the bottom is pulled away from the
steering column.
5. Remove the driver's side A-pillar panel being careful not to damage the retaining clips or the
curtain airbag. Carefully pull the rubber weather seal away from the door jamb (FIGURE E) then,
starting at the top of the panel, pull the A-pillar panel toward the inside of the car but DO NOT try to
pull all the way off. There is a white clip at the top which only releases about an inch then the panel
must be slid off of it by pulling upward. Be very careful not to damage the head liner or break the
white top clip.
6. Push the white top clip back into the A-pillar half way until it rotates freely.
7. Turn the white top clip diagonally and pull straight out of the A-pillar. (FIGURE F)
8. Slide the removed white clip into position on the A-pillar panel. (FIGURE G)

DIPOLE ANTENNA MOUNTING
1. Clean the mounting location with an alcohol pad prior to mount-
ing. Mount the dipole antenna to the windshield 8" (205 mm) to
the right of center on the windshield and below the black wind-
shield trim so that the antenna will not interfere with potential
addition of EC mirror harness. (FIGURE H)
2. Run the antenna wire above the headliner to the driver's A-pil-
lar, using a fiber stick to secure under the headliner.
Note: Make sure the antenna wire is secure under the headliner.
If necessary remove the sun visor to secure.
