Aerial removal

[CJFR]

Hey, can anyone help on how the hell the to get the aerial off a mk 4 ibiza??? I can get it totally screwed off but something is still keeping it on.

Do Seat superglue the feckin things in???

I think you have to unscrew and then just pull really hard?

Don't quote me on it though I havent done it!

 

[CJFR]

Scared, incase i break anything. lol

I want to do this too, might put honda aerial on.

I did a search and apparently you have to give it a bloody good tug and hold the base at the same time, it should pop off.

I got a chrome sabre aerial. Looked nice in the box. but think it mite look tacky on the car. But theres only one way to find out. lol Sure if i fk gettin the aerial off u'll see a thread askin how to get a dent out of my roof. lol

 

[Ad Lav]

Headlining down and tap it!

 

[CJFR]

I'll probably price Dentmaster before i start it.

when I removed mine and did the civic stubby mod mine was well stiff

so I unscrewed it as far as it would go and prised it off with a pair of long nosed plyers ,
just slip them into the area with the exposed thread and leaver it up

 

[dasmith83]

ah ok....mite be buying an aerial after all then lol

Heres my method:

Unscrew the aerial as far as it goes
Place aerail in horizontal position
Place a thick cloth around the aerial base to protect the roof
Put an open ended spanner between the aerial and the aerial base unit and use the spanner as a leverage - the aerial will just pop out

yeah leavering it has got to be the safest route

no need to go to all that trouble just unscrewsuport the base and give it a short sharp tug!

Sorry are talking about removing the aerial
