Gday. I'm wanting to replace my rusted manual antenna with a non-auto power antenna. I have the switch and antenna parts (60050). I've read through the few threads about installing the antenna and seems a bit of a PITA to go through the inside engine bay. I have an LS swap with bits all over the place including around and infant of the engine bay access. Judging by the below pic, and rating out of 10, how hard would it be to go through the engine bay? I've read it's possible to go through the outside by removing the fender and also the quarter panel, but haven't seen any threads on videos on how to do it this way.

following on from my previous post (above), can anyone tell me whether there's meant to be a drainage tube of some sort coming of the little water spout on the powered antenna assembly?Assume water isn't meant to run our into the wheel well? The spout has a lip that looks like it's meant for a connecting tube but the partsouq page doesn't show a tube. Thanks in advance!
