Snapped Aerial on Car

rcs

Hi,

I very stupidly forgot to put the aerial down on my car when I went through a car wash. It obviously broke but didn't completely snap..

Has anyone any ideas how big a job it is & how much it costs to get this replaced??

The car is an '00 Almera GX 4 door btw..

I did the same on my car. Man did I feel stupid :rolleyes:
AFAICR a new one cost about €50. It was easy to put in. There was a kind of rubber washer/grommet affair that needed some gentle treatment to ensure a good waterproof seal but it wasn't too difficult.

Is your car black? I just got a new sharkfin arial for my car but it doesn't fit and I'm selling it.

Cheers..

Guess i'll have 2 bite the bullet and get it done next time its due a service..

€55 for a car wash tho.. not good for my rage!!!

sorry dude, the car ain't black and the aerial is located on the very top right of the roof so doubt a sharkfin aerial would fit..

cheers anyway

Is it an old shape Almera. Don't they have the aeriel in the A pillar, on the drivers side? if so, it should be cheap

Hi,
I also had a bad run in with a car wash this evening, aerial is snapped but not broken off. Car is a '97 Almera GX 4 door. Aerial is on the drivers side just as described in this thread. Does anyone know the best way to replace this? And can i replace it myself or does it require more than just screwdriver and a bit of cop on?

RCS,
what did you do to replace your aerial and how much did it cost?

Thanks.

what kind of aerial is it?

i had mine off a focus stolen, it was a screw in one and only cost 15 quid to replace, 50 quid seems a bit steep for an aerial?

is it a retracable one or something?
