I'm on my way to help you!

 

Hey, wait.... are we talking about the same antenna? OnStar in the rear or the AM/FM at the front? I think most have been refrnecing the front AM/FM antenna.

 

the am/fm. Sucker just won't budge. I almost screwed up the antenna assembly cause I was getting pissed off at it. Gonna give the tips mentioned here a good run...mousepads and rubber gloves. Gonna pick up a new pair of plyers on my way home too!

 

you are turning it the right direction arent you?

righty tighty...left loosy

The part thats shiny black in this pic is whats removable. My 2007 came right off without any effort.

 

lol. yep. counterclockwise. Its not just me either. I've been to car washes and guys have tried to remove it for the wash. No dice. They have just left it there. If mine was "normal", one of us shoulda been able to just twist it off, right? This sucker does not wanna leave! Im calling in the reinforcements this afternoon. I gonna get my badges off too while Im still mad...

 

Okay, I figured you knew what you were doing but I had to mention it just incase.

They must have used locktite or have a gorilla installing those at the factory..lol

good luck

 

I know that this is going to sound silly, but here it goes. Take it back to the Dealer, reason, if the base gets broke, you pay. Might be the screw is in at an angle, stripped, or may be the whole thing is now one peice due to a factory botch. But if you take it back to the dealer have the service agent try. Just a thought.

 

Pretty good advice at this point Karen!

 

I agree....very sound advice

 

Had to use plyers (bought new today...never did find mine). The jacket of my antenna was slipping around the screw, so I had to get something that could get a hold of it through the jacket...if that didn't work, it was to the dealer per Karens advise

by the way



look ma...no badges!
