covered in ibiza section but just pull it hard after you have unscrewed it
it has a mushroom like end on it that locks in

post a pic if you get a minute

Yes very risque! didn't notice that till this a.m:redface:



How much are these shark fin amplified aerials, like them on the beemers, but VAG cars have always had a problem with aerials and have had to resort back to the longer bee sting one.With the amplified one it should get rid of gremlins like poor transmission etc..I think.
