Changing The Aerial **VIDEO GUIDE**

[VRSLOZ]

Tools/Parts needed :

Your hands

Car used :

10 Plate Ibiza 1.4 SC Sport

Time needed :

15 Seconds Max

Difficulty :

0.5/5 - I'd give it zero but can't!

This is what the standard aerial looks like :

Nice eh!! And we'll be replacing it with this (5mm Grub Screw) :

and a quick comparision of the two :

Video Guide :

Clicky Clicky!

All you need to do is unscrew the aerial (anti clockwise) until it won't unscrew anymore, hold the base on the aerial by the car and wriggle the aerial side to side. If done correctly the aerial will come off and you can fit your new aerial!

You are the man!!!!!! OK so it really is THAT easy then. I like the stubby aerial mate, think I will get me one of those. How's the reception?

 

[VRSLOZ]

Reception on it is the same as normal to be honest mate although I don't listen to the radio much

 

[jc_boc]

Schweet, I guess I can get one from Halfrauds?

 

[VRSLOZ]

No mate you will have to get it from eBay ;

This is the one I bought

Thanks for the great guide! I wonder how they can call the aerial "theftproof" as they do here.. I pulled mine off and have ordered a new one, 55mm long, looks like yours but mine is in chrome

Cheers mate. I know what you mean, I guess it takes an extra second but hardly "Theft Proof"

Nice work again SC16V!

I was thinking of getting the *****(working) antenna and have it painted.

 

[Donnyboy]

Could someone tell me how long the standard aerial is??

I had a Honda one on my Leon and the threads corroded. I've put the standard one back on as the threads on after market ones won't catch, but its 40cm long I think.

Going to try and get price from dealer for Ibiza one..................unless anyone knows where to buy them?

Yeah same here, got an 04 LCR and it wont budge, i can unscrew it ok, but cant seperate it from the base. im going to a zoo next weekend and wanna be able to take it off rather than the mknoeys pull it off....im dreading it, gonna take my rear wiper off too, and fold my mirros in.
