How do u remove and reinstall antenna on 2014 Silverado without chipping the black antenna? Obviously pliers will remove it but chips them really bad

Box wrench will do the least amount of damage.

Tape it then use the correct combo wrench, i.e. 3M blue masking tape

i used black electrical tape last time. It just tore apart when tightening. Why the 3m tape?

It is made so the adhesive will not ruin paint.

I used to have an orange nylon/plastic tool that was designed specifically for this. It would slide down over the antenna and was a solid box style fit. No idea what happened to it. I think the dealer gave it to me. Think it was back when I got my 2002. It was similar to this but had shoulders like a box wrench.

I have one. I do new car Pdi. Ask the dealer for one from their guy.
