Aerial snapped

[darael]

Was about to put an aerial on my car, but have noticed there is a silver block where the aerial screws in. So I am guessing the aerial has snapped off at some point, leaving the stub/connector (?) in!

I only have the most basic tools (couple of spanners, cordless drill, screwdrivers) - so how can I get the old connector out, so I can put a new aerial in?

I realise hardly anybody uses the radio - but I'd like it to work when I get sick of listening to the same songs on the CD. ;)

You need a 8mm socket and a 15 torx fitting

- Take off screw on sunroof winder, then note position its facing, then pull off
- Take the two screws that are now visible off from the sunroof winder
- Pop open plastic cover between light and winder, screw there as well.
- Pop light away from plastic covering. Unplug
- Pull plastic covering away from the ceiling of the car
- Loads of room to loosen the aerial, use the 8mm socket to undo old aerial base, then replace. Making sure you tighten alot, else it'll leak :)

can you get a pair of pliers or mould grips on it

Will dry this when the weather is drier!can you get a pair of pliers or mould grips on itAfraid not, it's set into the connector - looks like I'll be replacing the aerial base.

you could super glue a smaller bolt onto it the undo it when its dry

put some sillycunt around the base on roof if not it will leak like a gooden

see if your mates have got a tap screw remover to be honest if everything else fails the base is only £12 from a dealer. Why do you have to remove the sunroof winder i just took out the interior light

[LSOfreak]

id probably be more comfortable replacing the base. knowing my luck if i tried to drill it out id probably end up with a hole drilled through roof lol
