How to Replace the Antenna on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Antenna

To replace the antenna on a Volkswagen Golf, you need to remove the headlining in the rear section of the car, where the antenna housing is located: this will allow you to disconnect the underlying cable and free the antenna from its lower section. Once the old part has been removed, you can insert the new one, connecting it to the cables from below and securing it to the roof of the car. After the installation, reposition the headlining to check that the new antenna works correctly.
