I need to replace the antenna on my '96 Jeep Cherokee. My aftermarket
manual doesn't show the antenna mounting. The Jeep has A/C and I
can't see the mount when looking up under the dash. How does the
antenna come out?
Any help would be appreciated.

It is up under the fender.

Hi Mike,

What is the best way to get to the bottom of the antenna?

The nut under mine is rotating.

You have to take the plastic liner out. There are screws buried in
there holding it. I think the easiest is to remove the tire so you can
get your head in to see them.

Better to turn the wheels to the right. It might be easier getting to
the antenna with the wheel off but it's far safer to leave the wheel on.

True, I neglected to mention using a frame jack stand as well as a jack
and I also toss the tire under the frame rail by the door for extra
protection.

'Never' go under a vehicle that is only supported by a jack!
