My daft question for the day...

[page3]

Hi all,

Feel somewhat stupid asking this, but here goes...

I've received my car cover from Classic Additions as recommended here. But, cannot get the aerial to budge! Do I just unscrew it each time or am I missing something obvious?

[Ren Dao]

Erm

MMmmmm


Welllll

Bloody good question !!!

Sorry can't help -

[gavinjfowler]

Mine is rubber covered and unscrews easily no doubt there were a variety used!

ooh er!

[WonkyGibbon]

Mine came with a retracting aeriel as well. Don't know if this was standard or fitted later - but it works well and is thus very convenient with the car cover.

[mikes3]

Sure its not a 'leccy one?

Mines got an electric ariel which is switched from the stereo...worked fine until a little over enthusiastic packing at LM...a job for the weekend me thinks!

Electric retractable, manual retractable and fixed ones were all fitted including a couple of coat hanger specials...

If you poke a small hole in your car cover where the ariel comes ... I'll get me coat.

Seriously though, there seems to be three or four aeriel types that I'm aware of. If yours does'nt easily remove or is'nt electric, it may be a case of swapping it for one that does.

Its a rubber springy thing with a metal nut at the bottom. I'll see if it unscrews with a bit more brute force otherwise I think a nice new aerial is in order. Not that is listen to the radio much anyway - generally use the iPod.

Ahh. the iPod ... A wonderful device.

sounds the same as my old one. It does unscrew - give it some brute force. mine snapped off and needed to drill it out. Couldnt be arsed with an electric one and prefer the looks of the little stubby ones (thats what she said last night) so bought a £10 replacement from halfords and wired it up. Never listen to the radio anyway so couldnt give a rats a*se re reception....

Reception my flexible stubby one gets is ok, (not that its used much)..

I know, I don't get it either. My wife tried listening to the CD player - I had to slow down so she could hear it, er, sort of. Not doing that again - give me a V6 beat any day.
