My wife ripped ours off when backing out of the garage and the door had stalled half way up. Once we finally got the part and I had some time to fix it. It took me about 2 hours and we saved about $700 in labor. THANK YOU for the help!

[@goldruch]

excellent video.and love the details. I'm an auto body man of 43 years experience and I give you 2 thumbs up 👍

Thanks for the video my son has a 2019 it was recently stolen we recovered it right away because we had a air tag in the car only thing that was ruined was they yanked the antenna wire off from underneath the roof liner might have to replace the antenna along with the wire harness not sure why they did that but the video helps out a lot thank you 🙏🏼

[@myytchannel6632]

Very informative video. You are a genius. What I learned from it is that this is above me and I will never do it. Kudos to you, man.

[@osbaldopreciado]

8mm for the bolt in case anyone was wondering. Also, thanks for the video! Very detailed!

[@rottmany]

Thank you 👍🏽

[@jhso1108]

Helped my vinyl wrap the roof on my 2019 Insight. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@breezeabudhabii8228]

Deff helpful bro 💯💯💯

[@timothygary1]

By far the most horrible and hardest car project I’ve ever had. Damn you Honda. That sucked but thank you for your help.

[@kv6846]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@GunsNclipstv]

What a great video man thank you very helpful

[@timothygary1]

8 mm socket to take that thing off. That’s the one thing I was looking for.

[@patriciamendoza1006]

At first I was like why is he in the back seat 😂 then I continued to see the video lol. Interesting!! 👌🏼🙌🏼

Thanks for sharing...good to know👍

Thank you!!!

First, this is an extremely helpful video. I damaged my antenna mast and have to replace it. The cost for just replacing the antenna was quoted at $500 in Akron and $1000 in Cleveland. The cost of the antenna assembly itself from both dealership was an additional $99. That tells you what this video may be worth to you. I am in the midst of the project right now and will order the part tomorrow. I have completed everything back to the back plug. I am not sure exactly what you did to take that left cushion off. It looks to me like the bottom seat has to be taken off to unfasten a bolt. Is that correct? Can it be reached by going through the trunk? Thanks for your valued input.

[@zoomoutsome]

What springs or coils are you sitting on? Also, where did you buy the side emblems?

[@CrazyDuck4u]

do I gotta take the headliner handles off the front as well? or just the back?

[@naughtysauce4323]

I'm just need to change the actual sharkfin, do you actually need to remove the wire harness or is there a disconnect from the antenna itself so you can replace just the antenna?

[@rocroc]

I wanted to add another comment after completing this project. Let me say that this is a wonderful video that saved me a lot of money. If I had to do it all over again I would do two things additionally. I would begin by taking the seats out. I ended up taking the bottom seat and side pods out but it would have only been a couple minutes more to do all the seats and it can be done in 10 minutes. Once you take the seats (and side pods) out then the removal/install of the side panels is a lot easier. On the rear "deck", the front of the deck has plastic holders that overlap the piece it hooks into - kinda of pull down, back then up. Then the rest is held in by green plugs. Ouch. It doesn't have to come all the way out. There is an entry door on top but you have to have very small hands to use it. The tuner plug has only one side that depresses so you can press and pull. I would also remove the front two panels where the SRS buttons are located on the center posts. Do exactly as you do the earlier SRS button then up and out. It would have been so much easier if that access door was a little bigger! Thanks to Fahrenheit for this video.

Glad it helped someone!

[@migeru_]

You are crazy bro! by the way you never show how not to break the bank getting the brembos calipers, anyway keep it up!

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

Soon brotha! Next video on deck after roof wrap 🤙🏽

[@moechuckka]

do you have to remove the whole antenna with harness? I cant see clearly, but it looks like there is a clip under the shark fin to release the harness.

[@Pinozcyclezandridez]

Did u disconnect the battery to prevent air bag deploy?

[@vietmeeskofi]

What pry tool is that that you use ?

[@uscroger4690]

Would this be the same for a 2018 acura rlx?

[@matthewserrato3812]

I got to do all this, I just wanted to change the housing color, lol

[@allenparker9641]

How long did it take to do all that?

[@BjWraps]

I'm a pro wrapper, I have a shop in Long Island, Ny and this antenna is hands down the most annoying to remove out of any car.

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

I 1000% agree with you. I almost gave up 11 times. Thank god I didn’t 😂

[@ahmedwasir2223]

Where in Long Island

[@BjWraps]

@@ahmedwasir2223 I'm in oceanside, ny look me up on insta, shops called printcoatwrapit

[@baldptdude]

good video man, how long did this take in real time?

[@baldptdude]

And how much material did you need for the roof? thanks

[@tjscustomtinting]

@@baldptdude i know you weren't talking to me, but I ordered a 5' x 6' piece to do a 2020 Accord

[@SamSabin]

No gas it's looking sick if you got extra wrap material can you show how to wrap the antenna?...my post notification are turned on for those brembos though

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

I’ll see if I can add it into a separate video. The antenna was a bitch to do. It’s one piece but due to the angles and my skill level I had to get creative. Lol

[@alexnguyen2051]

Song man?

How to remove spea”er cover on Honda Accor sports 2021

[@Honda_life_2020_]

Great idea via our last video... lol. Now add that rear window visor. Also when I do my roof I’m just going to buy a black antenna Instead of wrapping it. Personally. Also if you drop the headliner and pull the wire harness away from frame/tape, shouldn’t that give you enough room to unplug the wire from the antenna rather then taking the whole wire harness from the car??

[@migeru_]

Why spend more money and invest time? just do the wrapping over the antenna, u can spend that money on other things for the car

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

You can’t unplug anything from the antenna. It’s a solid piece with a long harness, the only way to get it out of the way is to get it free from the car. I spent a solid 15 minutes thinking about the issue once I came across it. Honda should have made the harness separate from the antenna but nope...

[@Honda_life_2020_]

LudacrisKillHD I’m not going to complain over $120. And the time and effort makes up for the few dollars you’ll spend. To me at least. Plus I guess you can rip it apart again when you have to re-wrap it. SMH

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

I will say wrapping the antenna was an absolute bitch. It took a lot of time and a few breaks because I wanted to throw the antenna at the wall 😂 But to be fair, I’ve only ever wrapped my truck so I’m not the most skilled. I’m just happy I knocked out the roof by myself. 🤙🏽

[@migeru_]

@@Honda_life_2020_ Aye man whatever floats your boat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@erikareyes2848]

Okay but what about the hole in the roof now? Lol

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

Lol I the antenna didn’t stay off. Just removed for the vinyl wrap ☠️. Then added back and color matched.

[@erikareyes2848]

K that's what I figured you did lol. But I was just confused lol

[@erikareyes2848]

I wish it could be removed with no whole cause the cars would look so much better 😩

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

@@erikareyes2848 agreed! That damn antenna holds the am/fm and satellite radio receiver so if you can live with only CarPlay just disconnect it 😂

[@erikareyes2848]

Facts I drive in silence anyways 😂
