|  Aerial on Fabia 3 I have just got my new Fabia 3 unfortunately the aerial hits my garage door so i have to unscrew it every time i drive in and out. I know this is a security aerial on the Fabia 3 that doesnt allow you to completely unscrew it. Does anyone know if its easy to take off or if Skoda supply a shorter aerial Ray |

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 i have a stubby aerial on my fab3, the long one you have unscrews then you have to give it a little tug and it will come off. then screw a stubby aerial on edit: mines somthing like this:- Short Stubby Aerial BLACK BULLET Antenna VW AUDi BMW on eBay, also Aerials Aerial Toppers, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Mar-08 14:07:56 GMT)

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 Like Mole says it just needs a good tug once you've unscrewed it. I replaced mine with the Honda S2000 aerial and would say the signal is better its about half the size of the Skoda one. HONDA S2000 AERIAL FITS...

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 Well unscrewed it and gave it a tug but it doesnt appear to want to come off. How hard was it as I dont want to pull the housing too much as it will put a dint in roof. |

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 make sure its unscrewed all the way, then just a short sharp tug will do it.

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 yeah, the the actual aerial is attatched to the screw bit. you'll know when its unscrewed all the way it becomes more loose than you'd expect.

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 the other option is to just cut the aerial in half, quick/easy/cheap solution. not sure how good reception will be though.

| Re: Aerial on Fabia 3 Another option for you - after someone 'borrowed' the aerial of my Fabia replaced with the Richbrook Anti Theft Aerial from... Speeding.co.uk Bee Sting & Assorted Aerials Been fine so far and hasn't gone walkies! Has the added benefit of being able to be 'cut' to size. |
