Anyone know how to tighten the onstar roof antenna? I believe that it is the cause of my roof leak. I can move it around slightly. I am sure that you have to lower the headliner but I have no idea where to start.

I'm assuming you are talking about the base? If so, bet you'd have to drop the headliner and tighten it from the inside of the truck! That's a guess though, but since there aren't any visible fasteners on the outside, I'd say that's probably the ticket!

Yes, I am talking about the base. Can you just drop the headliner slightly or do you have to drop it all the way? I have never messed with the headliner, where do I start?

First of all make sure you do not BEND the headliner. It is basically a piece of cardboard with cloth on it. Once you bend it wrong it will crease. As Rivieraracing stated most likely there is a nut underneath that you will need to tighten. Why dont you do this post a picture where it is on your roof and we can give you an idea on what panels you will need to remove to access it. If its in the middle that will suck HAHAH

You can lower the headliner just a little bit and you should be able to tighten it that way.
