Standard aerial removal

[Denis]

Is it possible to remove just the black plastic of the aerial on a préface without having to remove the interior rooflining ? I got a dummy shark fin but doens't fit over the existing aerial... Cheers
This is the original one I got at the moment :

Well you can because it's just a cover , but you. Any do more halm than good it's held on with screws only visible from the bottom .but you have to remember that the cover is also the sealing plate to stop water getting into the car .
You only need to drop the rear part of the headlnging . Think it's only held up with Velcro. Drop the back seats down . And gives you room . It's a bit like being a gynocologist . Think it's a 13mm nut .plus the frakar plug to disconnect
I know on the Saab shark fins ( possibly out of the same parts bin ) they use to wether and crack then fall off .

Mmmm a lot of work for just the looks. I'd rather spaypraint the genuine then... Hopefully reception isn't worse after.

You can buy a shark fin that will connect into your base.
It still gives you your stations

Or, remove the existing one, put the wires and aerial underneath inside the headlining and then stick you fake on.

I'm gonna plastidip it, spraypaint over plastidip. Then check reception and if ok remove plastidip and paint the aerial...
