Antenna Mast - Installation
NUMBER: 08-21-00GROUP: Electrical
DATE: JUNE 9, 2000
SUBJECT:
Antenna Mast Installation
MODELS:
2000 - 2001 (PL) Neon
Figure 1:
DISCUSSION:
The Neon antenna mast is installed at the dealership during new vehicle preparation. Recently antenna masts have been coming into the material return center with mounting surfaces stripped. The Neon antenna should be torqued to 3.2 Nm (28 In. lbs.). With the antenna mast torqued to the proper amount (3.2 Nm ( 28 in. lbs)) there will be a slight gap between the mast and the base (Figure 1). The gap is there to ensure that there is no contact between the bottom of the antenna mast and the plastic surrounding the metal insert on the base. Do not attempt to close the gap between the antenna mast and the base.
