How to replace the antenna in the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Antenna

In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the antenna on a Mini Cooper, a very simple operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, then we unscrew the antenna from the base using pliers. Next, we move inside the cabin, remove both the covers of the rear pillars and the grab handles, and separate the headliner from the roof. At this point, all that is left to do is unscrew the fastening bolt of the antenna base using a 19mm socket wrench, position the replacement part, and reassemble everything by following the exact reverse procedure.
