Aerial Swap

[yaris30]

guys i bought a richbrook aerial from e-bay for the yaris ..I was just wondering is the standard aerial a screw off aerial or what as the richbrook one looks like one

[dannyb999]

not sure about facelift ones, but my prefacelift one is a screw off one. i bought one from Halfords which supposidly fits nissan, renault and rover, and it fitted just fine. took off the yaris 'whip' straight away and put a clio on on. much better but now ive got a nice metal one :) just hope no thievin git robs it!

mine is a pre facelift one one of the older ones ..it has a black aerial in the centre at the front french built ...but it looks like one piece..whereabouts does it screw off??

[seveer unaek]

Just grab it about 3 inch up and twist it off. I know mine come's off, i just havn't got round to swapping it yet. I don't really like the metal ones though... does anybody know if there are any black shorter ones?

richbrook do a black one for 17.00 quid ..hope that helps ya :)

and its anti-theft

Phase 2 is a screw one and about half the size of the phase 1

Did this recently ...

My Richbrook one came with three different thread sizes for the screw fitting - it was the smallest one - 4mm I think.

Bit of wd40 will loosen the old one if its stubborn ..

Look out for the Anti-Theft cause they arn't really fully anti theft.

I have one, but it comes in 3 parts, the screw in base, the metal aerial section and a black end.

The Anti-Theft part is those 3 bits are allen keyed together, but nothing secure it to the car! Just the screw in!

So what I done is got a spanner, a cloth, and tightened the baby up so it screwed in even more. No-one has touched it and I have had it about 6 months, and had my dust caps nicked about 4 times, but I now have locking dust caps and they are designer 1s, ooo.

I think that I'm suppposed to Allen key in the bolt to the car - one end of the bolt has a key slot, then tighten everything against it ..?

£17 is a rip off for an aeriel. I got a blue one made by type VR whoever they are with 3 fittings, 2 different lengths of metal depedning on how long you wanted it and all for £5.99 from my local motor factor!

i think i should buy a load and sell them!

[breezer]

danny take a pic from further away as well! always wondered what those ones look like on a yaris

[dannyb999]

i will take one tomorow in daylight if i remember breezer! :)

i tried an all silver one first, but looked pants, as the bracket at bottom which connects it is black. so i had the compromise of silver rod and black connections :)

[breezer]
