I had a carton of pull string from when I pulled larger cable to my garage. I pulled the radio out and tied the pull string to the antenna and tried to pull it through. It got caught going from the crash bar under the steering wheel into the area under the A pillar and the cracked wire broke. I used a fish tape to get the pull string up the A pillar to pull the new antenna back down to the radio. The new antenna was a difficult to get into the a pillar, but I was able to squeeze it in and keep the gasket straight.
