Subject:antenna replacement

Hi Folks,

I dug into the archives for antenna replacement how-to's, and the process is
pretty unanimous (cut old antenna cord, tape new cord to old and pull
carefully through dash).

However, I tried this and the new cord just doesn't want to come through my
dash... Does anyone have any ideas as to where or why the new cord could be
getting stuck? I don't want to just rip it through because I'm afraid I'll
damage the new antenna cord, or worse, tear up something vastly more
important in there. Also, does anyone have any tips for lifting the
instrument cluster hood? Bentley just says to grasp in the back and pull up,
but I've done everything short of breaking the plastic and still can't lift
it. (?!)
