2007 Buick Lucerne Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the cellular communications/digital radio antenna on 2007 Buick Lucerne?

  A: The replacement procedure starts with upper rear quarter trim panel and rear assist handles removal but avoid bending the headliner beyond its tolerance to prevent damage. You should lower the rear section of the headliner first followed by disconnecting the Antenna cable above the am/fm Antenna module. Finally when ready remove the foam tape from the connection. First disconnect the digital radio Antenna connectors then remove the Antenna bolt and expansion sleeve before you can remove the digital radio Antenna. Begin the procedure by unfastening Antenna Base screws then removing the Antenna mast from the base. Secure the Antenna Base to the Antenna mast with mast screws then applying 1 n.m (9 lb in) of torque to complete the installation. Mount the digital radio Antenna to the roof while guiding the wiring pigtail through the shaft slot and installing the Antenna expansion sleeve followed by the bolt. Tighten the bolt to 6 n.m (53 lb in). Next seal the Antenna connectors with foam tape before putting the Antenna cable back into its slot above the am/fm Antenna module and fastening the cable with hold down clips. Reinstall the rear assist handles after aligning the headliner with the roof panel then install the upper rear quarter trim panel.
