Removing the Car Radio Antenna

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Antenna

Replacing your car radio antenna is a very simple process and is practically identical on ALL CAR MODELS, as antennas rarely differ in structure, only in shape. The top part of the antenna simply unscrews; then, use a spatula to slide underneath the antenna structure, being careful not to scratch the bodywork. Once you have created some space between the antenna and the bodywork, insert something thicker, like a plastic lever, and you will be able to lift it by applying some force and using your other hand for assistance.
