Ariel removal

How is it done lads?

Lower the roof lining - this reveals a bolt on the underside of the ariel. Undo that, unclip the wire going to it. Wiggle the ariel out of the hole (takes a bit of pulling to break the waterproof sealant)

It should then come straight off - this was on an extreme though.

Since the company who did the wrap Said it woulnt remove fully it only came up a little bit? Does it come off totally? Or do you need to unclip it from say a wire? I'll have a look tonight and see before it goes back tomorrow

Mine came off completely as the black plastic bit needed replacing - can't remember if I cut the wire and reconected it - doubtful though. Perhaps the company who did it wernt sure if it came off.

I know that as the wire is coiled round under the roof lining, there isn't much give in the wire so takes a bit of effort to wiggle free.

Sorry I couldn't be more help - but its defo a roof lining down job for my car.

Yeah well i removed the lining to find a small amount of moisture which I believe is where they replaced it. (it really is a tiny amount) then the small tear is where they cut it over the ariel because they couldn't remove it. So I'm gonna do it for them so it's repaired for fcs
