Re: Help: How to Change Antenna on Civic 97 (Zing)
easy.
1. release the antenna cable from the radio.
2. take all the oem plastic clips that hold the antenna under the dash. about 4-5 i think.
3. loosen the screws on the top of the roof where the anntenna comes out. then pull just an inch of it out.
4. heres the hard part so listen up. you are going to cut the actual metal anntenna part so you are just left with the wire that goes into the car. then once it is cut you need to tape the new antenna plug connector ( the part that goes into the radio) on the end you just cut off.. make sure it is on tight, and then you just pull on the end under the dash. and this leads the new wire down the side and into the underside of the dash...
if you do it slow it will work perfectly.. this is the only way to do it.
