Antenna removal 1962 Buick

[llmorris]

Trying to remove power antenna from 1962 Buick (Wildcat). I think it needs to be removed from below but I can't seem to get the clearance to remove it. Any help apreciated.

There should be a" Cup" inside the right rear fender well which you remove to gain access.

Thank you for the reply. This antenna is on the left front fender area.

The antenna is completely loose but I can't wiggle it out from below or above.

Most original antennas were usually mounted on the right front fender & depending on who installed it & where & customer preference could be mounted on the rear quarter on either side. IF it is a universal antenna the part that holds onto the fender flexes & you just get the "Fingers" up to where it van be removed.

it would be helpful if you attach pics of what you are mentioning. there is assortment of tools to use in hard-to-reach places. long needle nose pliers, flexible claw, tape, etc. you could loosen up or remove bolt on the fender at the bottom to pull it away to get in there a bit more. not too much just a bit.

I'll try that looking for a bolt, etc. I'll reply later as right now I need to work on a different part of the car. Thank you all.
