Does anyone have a technique or method for reattaching the radio antenna wire to the inside bottom center of the front windshield? Connection point is about 1/2" in diameter and must make good contact with the antenna wire imbedded in the windshield. Specific type of adhesive and/or current conductor must bond to glass.

Windshield Antenna wire repair

you can try finding a kit made to repair de-foggers for rear windows, it's the same idea, conductive glue. or try radio shack or a hobby store. this conductive glue/cement is expensive, but is the only thing that will work to fix the embedded antenna.

this antenna embedded in the windshield idea did not work in my dad's brand new from the dealer 69 Cadillac Fleetwood limo and still didn't work 15 years later in his brand new from the dealer 84 GTV6. Now i have both and lousy radio reception!


good luck!

Conductive Epoxy

This might be worth a try. Used in circuit work prototype application in past and might work well in your application.

Can someone post a picture of what the antenna attachment to the windshield looks like? Someone just cut the top off of mine so now there is just a bare antenna wire.

Thanks!

Anyone have an interior pic that would show this? Tried doing a search in forum images but couldn't find anything.
