Hey folks, I thought i might do this DIY for those who have broken thier base antenna on the zze corolla. I bought the base
antenna from wreckers ages ago but finally grew some balls to replace the broken one :P
here is the broken antenna base. see how i tried to super glue and mould it on again :P
things you need:
ratchet set with 10mm and 14mm sockets
shifter spanner
a fork
gloves (if you're afriad to get dirty)
1. Take out the rear seats. This is done by unhooking the bottom parts and unbolting the back rest. there are 4 (14mm bolts)
holding each back part of the rear seats. take these out and put them aside.
2. remove the spare wheel and the jack holder and the accessories holder (2 x 10mm nuts)
3. remove the plastic part of the boot where the boot latches on by removing the 2 hook harnesses using the 10mm socket
4. remove the thing that folds down on the reat seat behind it by using the fork to flick out the clips on each side
5. revove the 10mm bolt holding the part where the seat belt rests when not in use and lift the bolster out of the hook
6. remove the 10mm bolt holding boot ling on either side. and unclip (taking care not to break any clips) the trim off.
7. remove the 10mm bolt holding the upper part of the lining.
8. with the clothes hangers in the rear, flick out the plastic to access the 10mm bolt and undo these on both sides.
9. with the fork again, flick out the 3 clips holding the carpet lining near the brake light.
