Aerial

[gordonjsinclair@hotmail.com]

I have a Rav4 Granite3 years old the rear roof aerial is broken off and I cannot screw another in, How easy is it to remove from roof and replace?

Hi mate, when you say you cant screw another in, is there a broken piece in the tapped hole in the base ?

If there is have you tried to screw it out with pliers or something pointed ?

Aerial is simple to replace good news..Aerial complete from mr T is around£120 bad news. I managed to snap mine off my VX assume its the same,whilst washing.. drilled broken stub out and it was never the same.managed to get one from breakers for £25 good luck mate :(

Wickes used to sell a grinder at a good price

Otherwise sounds like you maybe need to drill it out??

Cheers mate the scrap yard route looks good to me how easy was it to remove under the roof lining? and was there a connection there without taking the cable right back to radio?

133 views not bad BUT has no one replaced the aerial base?

Hi I realise this is of very limited use, but here goes - have not replaced one on the Rav4 but have replaced one on a Punto and one on a Peugeot 206 and both of them had a connection to a separate cable ie you did not have to replace the cable, only the aerial and base. They were both a bit of a squeeze to get under the headlining but it was possible.

Hi Gordon

Like Robert I think you can get the base without the entire lead. To get the head lining down is a big job (including all the rear seats out!!!).

If you want I can email you the instructions and you can just remove as necessary until you can get it?

I've fitted an aerial in my loft - is that of any help?

The aerial on my 4.1 is still intact 14 years on.

The aerial on my chimney blew off during the early winter so a £80 re-fit was necessary as I can't use normal ladders anymore (weight loading restriction)
