  What has to be done to install an antenna in a 38 closed car. Does the headliner have to be peeled back? Sure hope I don’t have to do that!

  To install the original type of antenna; you will have to get the headliner out of the way; and drill a hole through the roof, need a template for this, should come with antenna, gotta get it right or antenna won't lay against windshield the windshield center bar correctly; don't ask how I know

  The hole is already there. Can the lead be connected without the headliner coming down??

  don't see how t could be connected, since antenna is behind headliner; thenwire goes over and down drivers side windshield post
