Aerial replacement

[webby]

Some little turd snapped the aerial off my Scorp a while back, hasn't worried me as I very rarely listen to the radio but it does look untidy. Well, so does the car, but still
How do you get the bloody thing off to replace it? I've got the two screws out of the brackets, but I don't want to haul too hard on the cable in case I break it off

They are in there pretty tight. Disconnect the aerial from the back of the head unit and give it a bit of slack, then pull at the base of the aerial a bit and wriggle it around. The cable goes straight into a 90 degree turn to fit into the 'A' pillar so it's a slow process to pull it through (pulling the aerial plug through is a major head ache too...) Before pulling the aerial out though - tie a bit of string or cord to it and then pull it out - that way you have a feed line to pull the new aerial lead through

I'd eliminate the aerial altogether and just install a CD player.....or some form of MP3/portable audio device

They re cheap, easily accessible and practical

Cheers geezer
Scorp, it's already got a CD player in it, I can't be bothered patching the hole it'd leave behind and I'm not really into the whole "shaved everything trailer queen" look. Besides, if I did that how would I listen to the cricket whilst driving around
