To install my GME AE4018K1 antenna to my vehicle:
• I threaded the coax through the mount point in the bulbar,
• tightened
the nut,
• threaded the coax through the engine bay,
• got the bugger through the fire wall,
• soldered the connector on, and
• finally plugged in my UHF.
Now my dilemma is, I have to change my bulbar and there is no way the coax is coming back out through the firewall with the connector on.
Can someone please tell me there is another way to solve this without cutting the connector off the radio end of the coax and reversing the above procedure. Then going through it again once the new bulbar is fitted.
Can the coax be removed from the antenna end, or is it hard wired?
Thanks!

Do as the smart dude says above - cut a slot in the BB mount.
An angle grinder disc is just a bout right (Not the cutting disc).
Nice steady hand - piece of 'P'
Make sure you slide a metal protector up uround the cable when you are extracting it for the first time.
Also cover the vehicle paint work tp protect from sparks.
5 Min job.
Oh! yeah - do not under any circumstances let member BONZ advise you or be present when you do it as it will chit faster than the speed of light.
