Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2007 Saturn Ion 3, and 2007 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use the adhesion promoter to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface, keep the couplings and the glass dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation. Allow 6-8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation. Otherwise the new coupling may not adhere.
- Do not use any type of glue or adhesive tapes to reinstall the original couplings. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
- Disconnect the coaxial cable from the inner coupling of the mobile communication antenna.
- Use a small wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double-back tape material while lifting up on the inner antenna coupling.
IMPORTANT:
NOTE:
If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the blade carefully. Damage to the grid lines may result.
