Estate aerial mount
« on: 02 April 2017, 13:46:49 »

Hi all
I have a broken aerial which i found when washing the car but also found the base rubber falling out.
So thought i would replace both and be done.
On looking for a new one i found 2 types which look identical but 1 is passive and 1 is active.
The active one obviously has a Electrical cable attached too.
Can i tell which mine is without the removal of the head lining or is this a must before.
My system is a Bose setup.
Thanks
Jay

You can access the aerial by removing the trim around the boot opening, and pulling the headlining down a bit.


Buy a new base gasket for the aerial, an ordinary(non GPS) one is about a fiver: LINK

Thanks

After a while i did this and found it was a active aerial

I have ordered a shark fin one as this will stop the fouling with the spoiler which i think messed the last one up.

Thanks

Car won't leak as there's another seal where it bolts through... That larger piece is largely cosmetic  ;)

Don`t take this as gospel, but I don`t recall ever seeing a non-active OEM beesting aerial on any GM model   :-\
