Roof Aerial

[Guest kimosabe]

Hi guys.

Been feelin a bit lazy lately and decided to put the C5 2001 2.2 hdi 5 door thru the local car wash.

Only problem was I couldn't free the car radio aerial from the roof,I tried turning it and pulling upwards on it and still it would not budge.Anyone know of a way to get the aerial free from the roof,can't go thru the car wash with it still attached

Ta in advance

It's a screw fit, so pulling upwards definitely won't help. These are prone to rusting solid, although I've not had that problem.

 

However, my local ARC carwash insist you DON'T have to remove bendy/beesting aerials like the C5's. I have been through with the aerial in place with no problems.
