WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Cadillac Eldorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clean the inside of the back glass with alcohol wipe.
  2. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint free cloth.
  3. Apply Glass Adhesion Promoter P/N 12378555 (Canadian P/N 88901239) to the back glass in the area the antenna coupling is to be installed.

    Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label.

    Important: 

    • The RF connections for the inner antenna coupling should run parallel to the defogger gridline.
    • Ensure the inner and outer antenna couplings are aligned.
    • Do not touch the adhesive backing on the antenna coupling.
  4. Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing on the inner antenna coupling.
  5. Align the inner antenna coupling to the 4 locating marks on the back glass, above the defogger gridline, or to the exterior coupling if the exterior coupling is already installed.
