Philip,

I replaced mine a couple months ago and it didn't seem too difficult.  However, it helps to have small hands when running the cable through the dash.  I found it helpful to remove the (d)ashtray, the glovebox and the radio.  If you have the stock radio, I found that using 4, 2 1/2" 'bright' finish nails (a coat hanger might work, too) in the 4 small holes on the radio face would allow you to easily remove the radio.

Other than that, it was just a matter of removing the old antenna, sliding the new one in and running the cable.

Oh, yeah..., and a lot of swearing when I raked my knuckles on the dash supports...

Brian
