I just replaced the antenna base and cable. The part was @ $20 on Amazon. Easy Peasy except removing the fender liner. Quite the pain. With a rack and / or popping the wheel off no problem. I don’t have that luxury. I started to let the dealer do it but balked at the $350 charge. They wanted twice the price of the part and 1.6 hours shop time. I did it in around an hour. The other posts here are good except in retrospect I didn’t need to remove the side dash panel cover although that was easy. The connection is not the one at the bottom of the area behind the glove box. It is at the very top. You can do this.

What was the Amazon part number and has your reception improved?

The Amazon part number from THREE YEARS ago, or the one from TEN YEARS ago? Getting the idea why digging up OLD AZZED threads is frowned upon????

Where did you buy the H3 antenna base.
I just completed this task and thought I would provide some feedback. The job took about an hour and required me to remove the glove box and side dash panel inside the vehicle. It also required the removal of the inner fender liner. Inner fender came out easily removing the retainer clips. Once out, getting to the antenna mount was easy.
New antenna base was about $20.
Taking out the inner fender also gave me a chance to clean out all the junk, leaves, etc that had built up at the base of the front fender.
