Aerial options....

[Karlp]

Today I've tried removing my snapped aerial that is stuck in via pliers, pipe grips, bolt extractors and it just won't budge.

So I've seen the window aerials that stick onto the front windscreen, or do I goto Nissan and ask them to sort it, or try buying the new silver metal holder that the aerial screws into,

This is whats it like at the mo

 

Or could I just screw a covering cap on?? And get the window aerial?

 

What to do

[Lexx]

find a bolt that looks like it would just to say screw into the hole with little effort.

 

Super-glue it into place. Let it set, then unscrew the bolt.

Sorry lexx do you mean to cover it up, I wouldnt mind a little black cap to cover it up then get a £10 window aerial off eBay.

[Lexx]

I mean to get whats left of the old aerial out.

 

Though it may damage the original thread.

I've had enough of the damn thing, the silver holder is actually turning as I'm trying to twist the black aerial out.

I had a pair of pipe grips on the aerial then my mate had some on the silver aerial holder turning the other way it just wouldn't budge.

[Karlp]

Okay this is mine now

 

And what it should look like

 

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong? Is easy to get the new silver part of the aerial?

I'm having my aerial removed from the wing & smoothed over this week so may well have one going spare....

Looks like some idiot has either put thread lock on it,or totally crossed threaded it and done it up really tight. Id imagine your best bet would be to take the whole unit out from the inside,and put a new one in.
