Hi guys,

Just a quick question.

I have bought a indoor car cover for my M400, but when i put it on the car the roof-top ariel gets squashed. Im thinking that the ariel can be removed/unscrewed before i put the cover on; is this the case? Or is it ok to leave it as it is?

Any help would be appreicated.

Thanks

Dan

I know what i'd do, i'd cut a small hole in the cover (i am a lazy git though)

thanks for the responses, however i tried to get the ariel off yesterday evening without any luck. Does anybody know which way it screws on? Do you need to push/pull it as you go? I would like to remove it when the car is stored, but i do not want to break it.

Standard thread, anti-clockwise for off and should be very easy to remove (I remove mine when I put the cover on). Soak in some WD40, or similar, first and don't force it or you'll be sorry!
