Hi guys. I have a '97 4Runner Limited and need to remove the front quarter panel to service then antenna motor. I can't seem to figure out where all the bolts are to remove to pull out the quarter panel. I got all the ones on top (I think) but the ones on the bottom are a real PITA to figure out. Any suggestions?

Should be easy to get out to service it.
what happened to it?.

Basically the cable broke, I replaced the mast, but the antenna makes a funny noise when it powers up/down. I think some the old cable is stuck inside, so I need to service it as follows...

YES whats left of your old cable is inside, you have to open it up (just a few screws if I remember right) and get what's left of your old cable out.
Hope you did not ruin your new one.
I put some cable lube on mine too before I fed it back in.

yuck, i hate the 2nd/3rd gen power ant.
thats why i have the dealer disconnect the power to them to save me the trouble of replacement. dont listen to the radio up here since we only have 1 top 40 (more like rap station), 1 country, 1 classic rock and 1 other classic rock. the rotation up here is horrible, same song every hour at the same time it seems. i just listen to the wind while driving or hook up my jukebox 3 to the tape player and let the kids listen to the radio or cd player.
the jukebox currently has 3,280 songs taking up 14gb space with a no-repeat playtime of about 218 hours.
