There are steps you can do to install the XM antenna and in theory you could do the same to remove it. As far as messing anything up only item I can think of is audio but so long as you follow the right steps you should be fine.

Thumbs up



I got it off. Just take a blow dryer & heat it up.
And it should come right off. It's just adhesive.
Now I need route it inside next too the Bose rear
Speakers.

On my '04 I took the antenna out of the housing and centered it under the rear deck where the 3rd brake light would be (I have a spoiler so no 3rd brake light). It occasionally cuts out on satellite radio but definitely works well enough to keep it there.
