How to Remove the Antenna from the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Antenna

Removing the antenna from the Mini Cooper S R56 is a very simple operation that can be done independently. Today, this brief video tutorial will explain how to carry out this procedure. First, start by unscrewing the antenna thread with a bit of force. Next, take a spray can and degrease the inside of the new antenna, and as shown in the video, insert the new antenna. The Mini Cooper antenna can also be purchased online from specialist sites or on Amazon at a relatively low cost. The original antenna is quite unattractive, and many buyers tend to replace it after a trial period.
