How to remove that OnStar module from windshield?

[NoReverseYukon]

I thought that OnStar GPS module was just attached with double-sided tape, but no. There's a damned bracket that extends under the headliner.
How do I go about removing this useless thing? Before I go exploring can I get at it by dropping the overhead console?

if it goes under the headliner then you will need to pull the headliner down to find out more, not a lot of the early models had that style with the antenna on the glass, I assume you are talking about the antenna that is on the drivers side rear glass?

Thanks for replying, but I mean the GPS unit that is to the right of the rear-view mirror on the windshield. I am finally getting around to replacing my cracked windshield and want to get rid of this thing at the same time.

I stumbled on this in another thread on our forum...

Removing interior OnStar antenna?

Question about the OnStar antenna on the inside of the rear window in the cargo area (see pic). Is there factory window tint film under this antenna that will get damaged if I remove it? I drive a 2001 Suburban LT. I already removed the outside antenna, the module by the rear view mirror, and...

You might also remove the overhead console and see if you can access it through there. It removes with a phillips head screw driver, and has two clips in the back; the console has male tabs that slide into female hooks in the roof.

I just removed mine and left the bracket. I'm planning to eventually install a dash camera and possibly mount it to that bracket.

Does this thing just pull off the bracket ?

Yes, it slides right off the bracket. Just pull down towards the dash. Might take a bit of force to get it to start moving, but once it starts moving it should slide off with very little resistance.
