Title: Wing mounted ariel removal ???
Post by: kells on 27 February 2008, 17:02
Yo

wanting to whip out the ariel as some kind person has already removed most of it :angry:

plan is to remove it and put a gromet i have from the dealer in as a temp fix till i get the late type wings, not putting a B sting on either as i want the NO ariel look, gonna use a window mounted affair

question is how the hell do u get the old ariel out of the wing, i have got it released but only so far and i cannot get it to move anymore, it does however spin around :rolleyes:


anyone ??

Ta

its bolted to the inner wing and requires removal of the plastic arch for access...

Not a pain really.....but it's will take time to get the arch liner off...I managed to remove one end and slide my hand in to yank the aerial off
