3.) Cut all the black push in liner clips. These same push in clips and used to screw the fender flare to the body of the truck. They are kind of a pain to remove. But I found a nice set of RC Car Body Scissors, that worked great.

4.) Now you should be able pull back the liner and see your Antenna and the 10mm Bolt that holds it onto the bracket.

I'm resurrecting an old, but still very useful thread (since it still refers to the 5th gen).

My antenna base on the 2011 4R I just bought is mangled (antenna broken off, then a poor attempt at drilling it out), so i have the parts to replace it. One thing I'm curious about in this thread about removing the fender liners is that this person obviously removed the fender trim/flares as part of this process, but things I'm reading elsewhere seem to indicate that you have to take the fender liners out in order to get the flares off, which means that it wouldn't be necessary to get to the antenna, which just involves removing the liners.

Does anyone have any recent experience with this? I've bought the square clips to replace the liners, but I''m wondering if I really need to get the fender trim off as well. I may find out when I get into it, but I'd just as soon know ahead of time.

Thanks!

Re-resurrecting this old thread... [MENTION=322432]Seamonkey[/MENTION], did you have to remove the fender flare in order to open the liner (to get to the antenna base)? Or just remove the liner itself?
