Fitting a Universal Car Aerial

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Antenna

This tutorial can be used for any vehicle you own, as long as it has a traditional aerial. We will replace it with a universal aerial known as a 'shark fin' aerial. The operation is really very simple; just unscrew the aerial, leaving the fixed part on the roof, and remove it. After thoroughly cleaning the surface, connect the cable that will serve as the internal aerial to the new piece, using a screw provided in the box at the location of the old aerial. At this point, remove the protective plastic and apply the new adhesive aerial.
