GREAT VIDEO!! Very clear, informative and funny .. was laughing and
learning at the same time. EXCELLENT!!
How good is the radio reception with The Shorty?
One thing I forgot to add to my comment, Adam. My Focus is the SES model,
and has an overhead console/garage door-opener holder which is all part of
the overhead light assembly. I had one extra screw to remove–I accessed it
by opening the cover on the garage door-opener cavity. (Phillips head
screw) My antenna now works fine now. Your video was a great help, thank
you!
how would i complete this on a 2012 Focus where the antenna base is located
over the rear seats?
Is it the same for mondeo ST220 03?
Bingo!! Thank you!! **High Five!** :-)
this really helped even with a ’13 ford fiesta, and it’s a little easier.
that small plastic plug which broke for me and as it started raining
today, it started leaking inside the car.. it sucked really. Thanks a looot
man.
this video was AWESOME and 100% perfect. It took me all of 7 minutes to
remove and replace the antenna base and put it all back together. the
dealer wanted to charge me over 3 hours of work and about $500-600 to do
the same thing. I am very grateful for this, I am very handy and like to do
small repairs myself. Thanks you once again for posting this very helpful
video.
I have been without an antenna for over a year, after I took it off with a
snow broom in one of our lovely spring snowfalls in Minnesota!!! My
question for you is about the short antenna… I have seen mixed reviews
on it. How is the reception? Are you finding it to be as good as the
factory antenna? Thank you sooooo much for this video. I have 100%
confidence that I can tackle this!
THANKS!!!! I am about to do that for my mother inlaw…
I ordered the parts from Amazon. I will let you know how I come out. I’m in
California, so idk what this “snow brush” is. You rock, though! Thanks a
million!
Hey Man, thanks much for the vid. It gives me confidence that I can do it!!
Getting ready to do mine. Very helpful
Haha. 14 seconds in and I’m laughing. It WAS caused by one of those. My
father-in-law did one hell of a good job on that one. 😛 Anyway, thanks for
the video and links!
I have a 2001 ford focus and my antenna is broke ,thanks for this video
makes my job to fix it a lot easier 🙂
This video was excellent. I had no idea how to tackle this problem, and
with your video I completed it in 2 minutes. My 2002 Focus does not have
the additional obstacle of taking off the “ring” ; once the light is off,
the antenna screw (thanks for not of T20) is straight up. A+ help!!
Perfect! thanks. Found a cheap replacement kit with wiring and everything
at Walmart for under 10 bucks. Only needed the mast. Got the OEM base off
of Ebay for a couple bucks. The masts on Ebay that advertised as universal
did not work as you said. Wish I saw this before I ordered it but the
seller refunded the money anyway. Great directions!
Just followed your instructions to replace the dry-wroughted and rusted
antenna on my 2000 model. They were so easy that even this chick was able
to fix it by herself. 🙂 Thanks!!!
Thanks for posting this video! You saved me about $300. That’s what the
dealership told me it would cost. They told me they had to drop the
headliner to get to the antenna.
Thsnkyou
Got mine knocked off the same way dude. Thanks for the vidya. Links to the
parts would be awesome (you can get a click thru payment too!)
Thank you for the tutorial, damn winter!
Thanks for the walk through! This was so helpful. Saved me $$$!
Thsnkyou
can you put a link on for where you bought the ant i know you said
amazon but do you have a part number?
Thanks for a fine detailed view on how to repair/replace my antenna base.
Hey, great video! I just bought an ’05 Focus, and didn’t notice that the
antenna was broken off. The dealer had thoughtfully put the broken mast in
the back seat, though. :D
Thank you, just what I needed to know.
