In this short video, we will see how to remove and replace the antenna on a first-generation Volkswagen Tiguan, following these simple instructions. First, open the tailgate and start by removing the headlining, trying to detach it from the rear; remove the side pillars and grab handles to leverage the headlining and take it down.
