Oooops ! New Aerial Needed !

[Oldfellah]

I have been a complete plank today as I used a drive through car wash for the first time and turned the radio on whilst in there !! Yes, you've guessed it - the car aerial is now a folded mess. Could anyone advise where I could pick up a new one and also let me know how difficult it is to fit.

Thanks, Jim.

If you look at the base of the aerial you will notice the groves you push these around to unscrew it use a screwdriver with a cloth wrapped around it so no scratches when you have done it just lift the old one out and connect the new one .I would recommend using only Lexus one though .

You could also go and see a car radio company theyare eeverywhere

Thanks John. I will contact Lexus now regarding a replacement.

It could have been worse, at least you didn't decide to put the roof down whilst in the car wash :)

You can buy just replacement masts.

Perhaps I need just a mast then Rick ! The metal has broken off but I have a long stretch of white serrated plastic left.

[TigerFish]

Yeah, the serated cord is part of the mast and can be extracted when replacing the mast.

Great, thanks for that.

I bought a replacement mast and spent ages following some pretty straightforward instructions before giving up. The reason I failed was the plastic strip has teeth that were the wrong size for the base unit. I eventually had the whole unit changed with a good quality 3rd party one. £60 plus fitting if memory serves me.
