Ramu, great job on installing yourself! Always good to NOT go to a dealership , do it yourself , save some big time cash!kashmir said:Remove A pillar, sun visor, overhead console thingy and pull the weatherstrip from the top of the drivers side door.
You will be able to pull the headliner down plenty to get to the antenna. there is only one bolt holding the antenna on.
(see pic below) Take out the bolt, unplug the harness and pull out. There are five little phillips screws holding the cover onto the bottom plate, or if you're buying the whole antenna, just pop the new antenna in place and plug in the harness.
You shouldn't need to put silicone or anything on the antenna when you put it back on. I took mine off and plasti-dipped it red. Put it back on with the rubber gasket on it and have zero leaks.

Kashmir... Can u post a pic of your red plastidipped antenna? My truck has a black trim theme going on so i really can't do much for color on the antenna but I'm very curious to see your truck
