QUESTION: Thanks for the response. If you are referring to the metal screw which seem to be holding the antenna base to the car body... that is where I'm having a problem. There are some ridges on the top that looked like ridges for some sort of screw driver. That is what I'm having a problem unscrewing. Is there a sort of special tool to remove that screw? Nothing that I useed seems to fit. I even used a flat head screw driver and tapped on it but the screw just will not turn. Is it possible that it has seated itself solid over the years?

Answer
yes there is a tool for that, i have a remove a few and don't have that tool
i use a set of plyers with long tips
