2004 Buick Rainier Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Antenna Cable for the digital radio on 2004 Buick Rainier?

  A: Repair processes of the digital radio coaxial cable start with windshield molding and instrument panel trim pad removal before proceeding to right sunshade detachment with its inboard retaining clip removal and front headliner lowering. First disconnect electrical connectors from the digital radio Antenna assembly followed by removing the right front door sill plate. Remove the right windshield pillar's coaxial cable while lowering the right closeout insulator panel. Remove the lower rose bud from the cowl while also disconnecting the coaxial cable of the digital radio receiver. Attach a mechanics wire to the coaxial cable termination before guiding it through the cowl insulator access hole where it should rest between the i/p and cowl. Pull the coaxial cable gently from its position at the windshield bottom to free up the upper rose bud. Begin cable installation by extracting the mechanics wire from the coaxial cable before removing the cable from the vehicle. Safely connect the already existing mechanics wire behind the i/p to the coaxial cable's end for installation purpose. Remove any lower rose buds from the coaxial cable, then ease the mechanics wire from the cowl insulator pathway and route the coil cable beneath the instrument panel before securing the lower rose buds to the cowl and installing the radio receiver accessory to the right windshield pillar. Install the right front door sill plate followed by the right closeout insulator panel then attach electrical connectors to the digital radio Antenna assembly. As the last step reinstall the headliner together with the right sunshade equipped with its inboard retaining clip and the i/p trim pad and right windshield garnish molding.
