Bought a stubby aerial off fleebay thinking it would be a screw off screw on job.
Tried to screw mine off but it seems i have the aerials that screw loose and adjust to face flat on the roof, do these come off at all so i can replace with my stubby aerial? or am i wasting my time?:help::help::help::help::help::help::help:

did it have an adjustable hinge on yours? so you can loosen it and lay it flat?

would you just keep pulling until it comes off? wiggle or straight pull?

Did your stubby aerial actually work after that? I got mine off flea bay as well and my radio couldnt lock on to anything after the replacement aerial. I think this is mainly due to it not having that little xtension on the end like the stock Leon aerial, it just has the thread that screws in and thats it. I'm gonna have to try and get a strand around the thread and going down further in the aerial locking bit, that way maybe it will finally connect to the antenna properly.
