I just bought a 95 Honda Civic 4 dr sedan with a broken antenna. I purchased a replacement antenna but when i try to run the wire down the door pillar, (along side the windshield) it doesn't come out under the dash. Can anyone tell me how to fish the wire from top to bottom or vice versa?

Many thanks...

I vaguely remember dealing with this on my 89 Civic Si way back......  apologize if I am off the mark on this...

Get a bright work light or flash light and youre gonna have to go fishing.  Remove whatever terminal holders etc from that lower kick panel which would prevent your vision or movement of medical instruments or clamps youre gonna need to grab the lead through the inside panel.  Have someone move the wire back and forth and check for movement.  Also, try removing the rubber wire protector on the body end which carries the wires from the door to the inside of the car.  You might be able to locate the lead and then help feed it to the inside panel. 

Longshot - check for panel access under the fender which might require removal of the rim.

Thanks F4Pilot!

The key for me was removing the cruise control electronics box which exposed the opening in the body.
