Just ordering an aerial from that supplier, it noted it was for a leon but most the aerials seem to be universal with either a 5mm or 6mm fitment option.

Does the existing aerial just screw off?

 

[H8T WP]

yup, just unscrew it

 

[dshiels]

thanks

Sorry this is probably a really stupid question, but I tried to change my aerial this morning and I unscrewed it but it only unscrewed for far and then just turns and doesn't come off any further. I don't want to yank at it and end of breaking something.

Not sure if it was incorrected threaded when it was fitted at the factory or if there is something else I should be doing?

I think there is an anti theft thing in it so you have to give it a good yank to get the aerial off. Donnyboy had a problem with his and he said that the only way round it was to give it a good tug.

thinking about a chrome one really

Sorry it will be next weekend before I get some pics.

The link H8T WP posted for for a chrome one, although that auction has expired there are plenty similar on ebay. Most of them come with different fitment screws, 4, 5 and 6mm. I wouldn't swear but I think the Leon is 5mm.
