Will I have access to antenna/shark fin by removing the 3rd breaklight?

[TheAssuager]

Hello! I have a question for those who have worked on this truck more than I have. My shark fin/radio antenna assembly is loose on my roof. It seems it is possibly loose enough to let water/moisture in in a heavy rain/car wash. I want to access it from below to tighten it down.

Will I have to remove the entire headboard to access this? Or am I able to fit a tool in there from the back by removing the 3rd brake light above the rear window?

Thank you everyone! This loose antenna/shark fin thing is annoying the heck out of me! I am in love with my new Ranger, btw. Best purchase I've ever made!

I may do just that. Thanks!

If it's under warranty, I agree with T Bone.

No, you won't be able to easily reach it by removing the third brake light. Make the dealer make it right.

I had to drop half the headliner, broke several clips and parts on the way. There is a video on this forum somewhere.

No you can't, but if you had a third brakelight its possible.

Breaklight models don't come with the option you are seeking. As a matter of fact, the instant you touch them they fall apart and must be replaced.
