Whats the best way to remove a telephone antennae from the rear window of a car without damaging the window?

It is a 1993 chevy lumina coupe|||I assume you're talking about a antenna stuck to the outside of the glass? Clean around the antenna base so you don't scratch the glass with dirt. I suggest using a paint scraper with a razor blade and work slowly around the edges. Take your time, it isn't going to just scrape right off. As you penetrate the adhesive, squirt a little 90% rubbing alcohol into the area to help dissolve it and keep it from resticking to the glass.|||If it's a normal cellular antenna from that era, it's just stuck on... a putty knife and slow time working your way between the glass and the antenna works wonders... may have to take a razor blade to clean up any mess afterwards...





On inside do the same thing, but watch as some leave a hole when they tint cars for that antenna and don't scratch the lines for the defroster if you have one.|||its built into the glass sorry|||i own a shop,and if this is one that was added later on ,and it was one of the ones that they actually drilled a hole for ,it can be removed,but you have to have the plug kit for it ,or your going to have a hole there to deal with,if its one of the built in type ones it will have to remain there on it ,but it wont hurt anything at all with it being there,good luck.|||I would recommend taking a hair dryer and getting the base of the antenna very hot. Then grab it with a pair of plyers and gently twist it and it will come off. The rear view mirror on my windshield sometimes comes off by itself when it gets real hot outside. The Adhesive will break down with a lot of heat. Then you can scrape the residual glue off with a razor blade.





Hope this helps.
