MAXIMA

(1) If present, remove PGF protective film from rear of the roof where antenna is to be mounted.

CAUTION

In case of ambient temperatures below 20 degrees C (70 degrees F), it is required to warm the tape and mounting surface with a heater to a minimum of 20 degrees C (70 degrees F).

(2) Remove the 10mm screw securing window trim along right side of rear window and remove trim by pulling straight up. Fig. 12

(3) Place the antenna on the roof in the approximate position it will be mounted. This position will be on the center-line of the vehicle, use the rear window defroster vertical line as a reference.

Adjust the fore/aft alignment of the antenna such that the small vertical portion of the antenna is contacting the rear edge of the roof while maintaining the smallest visible gap between the antenna tail and the edge of the roof line.

(4) Unwrap antenna cable.

CAUTION

• Do not let the antenna cable rest on floor; it may be stepped on and damaged.

• Do not kink antenna cable.

(5) Route the antenna cable towards the passenger side of the vehicle as it exits the flexible portion of the tail. Fig. 13

(6) Apply soapy water to antenna cable and window rubber molding and, using a PGF stick, tuck antenna cable underneath rubber molding to right side of window. Fig. 14

(7)

Cut out antenna and tail outline and two square holes on antenna template. Fig. 16

(8) Carefully lift antenna from the roof, do not pull out the wire that was just tucked, and clean the area where the antenna is to be mounted with a 50/50 alcohol/water solution. Put antenna back on roof.

Fig. 17

CAUTION

Do not touch or contaminate the cleaned roof or adhesive tape on the antenna to prevent reduction of adhesive strength.

(9)

Align template to vehicle centerline at bottom of template and the 2 square holes, and roof edge.

Affix to vehicle with masking tape. Use vertical defroster line for vehicle centerline. Fig. 16

(10)

Position antenna and tail in template and fine tune alignment based on centerline of template.

Fig. 16

(11)

Adjust the fore/aft position of antenna such that antenna tail and roof have maximum contact surface with minimum gap at edge of roofline. Fig.

(12)

Peel tape protector from rear of the antenna tail and lay down tail. Fig. 17

CAUTION

Make sure antenna cable remains vertical under antenna tail flap. Fig. 18

(13)

Apply pressure along the length of the antenna tail to ensure proper adhesion.

(14)

Peel tape protector from antenna and apply 20 lbs. of downward force for 20 seconds while rocking hand back and forth across top of antenna to assure proper adhesion. Fig. 19

CAUTION

During antenna mounting process, make sure rubber dust seal "flares" outward while downward force is applied.

(15)

Remove template from vehicle.

CAUTION

•

Keep vehicle inside at least one hour after applying adhesive tape.

•

Avoid works imposing pressure on the adhered area including car wash within 48 hours.

(16)

Route antenna cable down right side of rear window to the notch area. Fig. 20 & 21

(17)

Use electrical tape to secure the antenna cable to vehicle near rear window. Fig. 20

CAUTION

Do not apply too much tape as it could be visible after installation of the trim piece.

(18)

Re-install right rear window trim piece with 10mm screw.

(19)

Cut off 75mm of the corrugated tubing and slide remaining piece over antenna cable towards the base of the rear window.

MAXIMA

(20)

Starting 1" from right hand lower corner of window along wire affix four (4) cable clamps to gutter area towards notch as shown. Final clamp should be located as close to edge of gutter on the furthest flat horizontal surface approximately 1" from notch.

Alternate the clamps while installing. Fig. 22

Fig. 23

CAUTION

•

Make sure corrugated tubing is far enough away from gutter lip so it does not interfere with trunk weather strip.

•

Do not affix cable clamp on sealant.

(21)

Clean underside of the gutter, where clear tape will be applied, with 50/50 alcohol/water solution then apply clear tape to prevent abrasion as shown. Fig. 23

NOTE

The following steps 22 to 28 are critical to water leak, therefore must be followed strictly.

(22)

(23)

Place the edge protector over the notch.

Use Alcohol wipe included in the kit to clean the surrounding area before application of clear tape.

(24)

Route the antenna cable over the edge protector by laying the cable into the channel in the rubber.

CAUTION

Make sure the antenna cable is seated in channel on both sides of the edge protector.

(25)

Position the clear tape above the notch without peeling off the liner to estimate the correct position for the small amount of butyl gum.

(26)

Before applying the clear tape, apply a small amount of butyl gum to bottom side of antenna cable to hold the antenna cable at the radius corner where it will enter the clear tape.

(27)

Do not peel off the entire clear tape protector. Pull the clear tape protector back 10mm (3/8"). Then apply 10mm clear tape to the horizontal flat surface of the gutter. Then slowly massage the clear tape with a PGF stick until you have reached the corners. Make sure that the tape does not wrinkle. Apply the same technique to the vertical surface. Then fold the tape over and apply the technique once more. This should leave a smooth surface on all three sides. Fig. 24 & 25 clear tape

Fig. 25

CAUTION

•

In order to stop water from entering the trunk through the clear tape, the clear tape must have complete (100%) wet out 5 - 10mm (1/4" - 3/8") on all three sides of peripheral boundary and no wrinkles. Fig. 25

•

Ensure antenna cable is entering the clear tape at the radius corner.

(28)

Apply butyl gum at both ends of the clear tape.

The butyl gum should fit into both corners to cover the antenna cable and opposite end of clear tape.

Fig. 24

CAUTION

Butyl gum must be placed across the cable for good water seal.

(29)

Apply clear tape over the two (2) panel joints as illustrated to protect antenna cable. Fig. 26

Sponge tape

(30) Route antenna cable to tuner/splitter location and secure to package tray with four (4) pieces of sponge tape. Fig. 27 & 28

CAUTION

•

Do not kink the antenna cable.

•

Do not change diameter of the antenna loop.

Sponge tape

(32) Insert antenna terminal into corresponding splitter terminal. Fig. 29
