Default QUES: How do I remove...

Any ideas on the best way to remove old mobile phone antenna??

Is this inductive or did the PO put hole in glass?

Suggestions welcome

strong fishing line just pull it right through, and maybe a sharp razor blade to clean up the sticky pad.

Robin,

Great idea. I didn't want to try wedging a balde underneath for fear of cracking the glass.

Same method for badge delete too, just skip the razo blade part at the end... A WD-40 should work good to get rid of the left over sticky stuff.

I did this last night. I used a standard razor blade paint scraper and worked the edges of the outside portion of the antenna. Once I had done that on all four sides, I applied some leverage using the antenna itself and worked the blade further underneath until it released. Very simple. Then did the same from the inside, but it was even easier because I could see where the glue was, and I used the wire as my leverage point. Now, what to do with the wire - I think I'll cut it and tuck it under the dashboard, then go fishing for it later - shouldn't be a problem. Alas - no more antenna (on the windshield since I have a cab). Great deletion.

Applied heat from a heat gun will soften the adhesive enough allowing the monofilament line to pass through like buttah!
