How to fix loose antenna?
Hi, this is my first post. Just picked up an 07 Limited with 41,000 mi's. Black with a 5.7 HEMI/20" Chrome clad wheels. Runs great and it's very clean. It looks to have every option except for Navi, rear heated seats and sunroof. I figured I could live without the Navi (I have a portable Garmin) and the rear heated seats, but not the sunroof. So I had one installed within a week of buying it. All in all it looks great and works just like a factory sunroof would.
Anyway, my antenna is loose at the base. The whole unit rocks back and fourth about 1/2". I looked and there's no access under the hood, so I'm guessing the only way to get to it is through the wheel well. Just curious, has anyone had this happen to them? This is the only problem I've found so I shouldn't complain. I hope to spend some time on it tonight. If/when I am able to fix it, I'll report back in case someone else runs into the same problem.
Thanks,
Steve

I popped the hood and got out the flashlight and I was able to see the underside of the antenna. Not that I could get in that far but I didn't see anything under there to tighten. I figured I'd try the silver ring around the antenna itself. I didn't have the right tool, so I taped up my pliers so I wouldn't scratch it up and gave it a few turns. Worked like a charm
