2010 to 2014 Mustang and Shelby GT500 Antenna Relocation Instructions Thank you for purchasing the antenna relocation kit / antenna delete kit from Four Fields Garage. There are no permanent changes made to the car from installing this kit. This Mustang and Shelby GT500 "antenna delete kit" removes the mast antenna on the rear quarter panel. A gasketed machined aluminum antenna cap is used to cover the antenna hole in the quarter panel. The antenna hole cover is secured in place by the gasket and a bolt on the underside of the quarter panel. This antenna delete kit allows you to either repurpose your defroster grid as the new AM/FM antenna or install a separate window mounted antenna (for example, separately purchase the Metra 44-UA25 Universal Window Mounted Antenna in addition to this kit). Installation of the antenna relocation kit provides excellent FM and fair AM reception (receive the strong AM stations).
