Fitting a new arial

[nivag27 5]

Has anyone fitted a new arial ( I mean the cable from the stereo to the arial) and if so what is the best way to do it.

I need to replace the hole lot as I bodged the sony arial (well me and Dale did) in to a pioneer stereo and I went to sort it the other day and the pin came of in my hand.

Any help appriceiated.

If it was me then I would fit a new aerial and hide it in the dash , makes life much easier as I beleive you would have to remove the hood lining to replace the standard aerial......cowboy job I know! lol

yeah get a 12v amped aerial and hide it in the dash or treat yourself and get a full DAB unit if you listen to the radio alot

or

take off just the rear of the roof lining and gaffa tape the new aerial lead inline (end to end) with the old one and hope it'll pull back to where it needs to go

It's not the big of job, It' just a case of running the cable from the stereo as to the back, as you would do with speaker cables. Then case running the cable up the C pillar and to the roof.

If you open the hatch theres a plastic piece that runs along the roof, this just clips off. Then carefully pull the roof lining down only enough to get a spanner in to undo the nut on the bee sting. And attach a the new cable and tighten up.

I haven't replaced the whole cable, but i have replaced the seal at the bottom of the roof aerial.
