Remove the cargo tie down bracket, 10mm screw
and bolt cap that secure the spare tire well in
place. Fig. 6
Lift and rotate the driver side spare tire well up and
out of the cargo area.
Remove weather-strip from the entire left side of
the cargo opening, all the way to the bottom.
Release the driver's side of the roof rear garnish
assembly. Fig. 6b
Lift rail straight up to remove from mounting bolts.
If roof rail is present remove the four (4) 10mm
nuts securing the rail to the vehicle.
Using PGF stick or plastic pry bar remove roof
side molding. This piece is held in place with six
(6) clips. The clip locations are illustrated by
circles in Fig. 9. If present, remove PGF
protective film from rear of the roof where antenna
is to be mounted.
Remove the finisher from the driver side cargo
hatch hinge.
If roof rack is present remove finisher caps from
each end of the driver's side rail. Use plastic pry
bar to release this piece. Pry at point 1 then move
to point 2 but DO NOT pry the rear portion of this
piece. Fig. 7

Place the antenna on the roof in the approximate
position it will be mounted, see Fig. 10. Align the
stiff portion of the tail to the edge of the rain gutter
with the flexible portion of the tail extended into the
gutter. The flexible portion of the tail will be aimed
downwards and secured between the gutter edge
and the gutter finisher.
Use these two pieces of tape to position antenna
by aligning the rear edge of the tail to the front edge
of the tape. Fig. 11 Double check to ensure
antenna is perpendicular to rain gutter.
Proper alignment of the antenna tail is achieved by
adjusting the position of the antenna so the small
vertical portion of the antenna is contacting the
gutter edge of the roof while maintaining the
smallest visible gap between the antenna tail and
edge of the roof line.
Place a small piece of masking tape, perpendicular
to rain gutter, a distance of 212mm (+2mm, -0mm)
from the rear edge of the roof. Fig. 11
Place second piece of masking tape 172mm
(+2mm, -0mm) from rear edge of roof to portion of
roof closest to the widest portion of the antenna
head. Fig. 11
Fig. 10
FX35 / FX45
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).

Adjust the position of antenna such that the
antenna tail and roof have maximum contact surface
with minimum gap at edge of roofline. Fig. 12
Peel tape protector from the antenna tail and lay
down tail. Fig. 12
Unwrap the antenna cable.
Carefully lift the antenna from the roof and clean the
area where the antenna is to be mounted with a
50/50 alcohol/water solution. Put antenna back on
roof.
Bend the antenna wire to a right angle, directed
towards the rear of the vehicle, at the point where
they exit the flexible portion of the tail.
FX35 / FX45
Do not let the antenna cable rest on floor; it may
be stepped on and damaged.
Do not kink the antenna cable.
CAUTION
Do not touch or contaminate the cleaned roof or
adhesive tape on the antenna to prevent reduction
of adhesive strength.
CAUTION

Route the antenna cable in rain gutter then under
the plastic trim cover towards the existing notch
area located in the center of the cargo opening.

Apply 20 lbs. of downward force for 20 seconds
while rocking hand back and forth across top of
antenna to assure proper adhesion. Fig. 14
Apply pressure along the length of the antenna tail
to ensure proper adhesion.
Masking tape used for antenna alignment can
carefully be removed from roof.
Use masking tape to secure the wire into the rain
gutter in one (1) place. Fig. 15

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

Make sure the antenna cable remains vertical
and centered under antenna tail flap in order to
have maximum wetout surface on both sides of
tape.
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.
CAUTION
Ensure grommets on side molding align with clips
on roof during re-installation of roof side molding.

amount of butyl gum to the bottom side of the
antenna cable to hold it at the radius corner where
the cable will enter the clear tape.
Reinstall roof rail, roof rail cap, and cross bar end
covers. Apply torque: M6 screws 5.0 to 5.5 N-m
(44.3 to 48.7 in-lbs) and M8 screws 6.0 to 6.5 N-
