I tried removing the passenger side front fender to get access to the antenna mast but i cant get it all the way off. I removed the 5 or 6 bolts on top, removed the wheel well bolts, removed the turn signal too, but it wouldnt come off without bending the fender. Can anybody give me some advice please.

There are a couple rivots under the rocker panel that also must come out. You have to remove the rocker panel though to get to them.

Is the rocker panel the one right behind the wheel?

The rocker panel is the long piece that runs under the door and also includes the door sill. To remove that theres a whole line of rivots under the car. Then theres a few rivots under the little black pieces that are in the door sill. You also have to take a couple of the bottom wheel well liner screws out on both the front and rear and then you gotta finagle it out. Can be kindof tricky the first time you do it.

Wow I didn't know you had to take half the car off to take remove one small piece. So I have to take off the ground effects, the side moldings, and the door sill!?

You can get to the antenna mast base without completly removing the fender. With the fasteners you mentioned in your first post removed, you can flex the fender back far enough to get to the bolts holding the antenna base to the chassis. Remember, the fender is plastic and will tolerate a fair amount of flexing. If you take the wheel well liner out, it makes it easier to get to the grommet where the antenna cable goes into the interior. If you still want to take the fender off completly, the ground effects do not need to come off. The rocker panel should be removed to get to a large single rivet that holds the bottom corner of the fender to the frame, although it may be possible to just take out the first 3 or 4 rivets holding the bottom of the rocker panel to the frame and flex the front end down far enough to get to the fender rivet. The rivets can be replaced with screws and nuts if desired.

Hey thanks for the write up Rodrv6. I will try to remove the front fender this week. My antenna broke off a long time ago so I wanted to do the Antenna Under the Fender idea but I think for now I am just going to buy a new mast and antenna to make my radio work again. I have been listening to CDs for the past 2 years and its getting old!

...even Led Zeppelin CDs get old after awhile, I guess. Even in Fieros.
