How to Replace a Mercedes Benz Antenna
1. Purchase the correct model of antenna for your year of car from your Mercedes dealership or online.
2. Shut off the car and pop the trunk. Locate the antenna housing bolted to the top left corner of the trunk.
3. Squeeze the plastic tabs holding the radio connector and electrical connector into the back side of the antenna housing. Pull the connector out.
4. Unscrew the four bolts holding the antenna housing up with an open-end wrench. Firmly pull down on the antenna housing. The antenna tip is positioned through a rubber gasket so you will have to pull down fairly hard to get it out.
5. Push the new antenna housing through the gasket and bolt the antenna housing into place with the open-end wrench. Reconnect the radio and electrical connector by pushing it into the connector slot until you hear it click. Shut the trunk and youre done.
