On the 2000, you need to remove the fender liner to get to it. Just looked it up on Alldata, randomly.
88 does not specify....by the way the rubber antenna's suuuuuck.

I had to take the antenna off my 2001 to paint the fender and it snapped off in the hole. A bit of solder on the very bottom with fusor on the top fixed that up. Still was a pain.
