The rubber gasket around the base of my antenna is long since perished and gone and want to replace the whole thing. Is there any way of removing it without having to go from the inside and pull apart the interior and the headliner?

Not on my SW. Although it's relatively simple to unclip the rear of the roof lining through the boot and carefully wedge it down to give enough clearance to loosen the aerial. I got a replacement gasket from these on ebay.

you can access the antenna base if you pull out the rear ceiling light....

holy crap I don't even need to take it off to fit that by the look of it! I didn't even think of searching for a gasket I was searching for antennas :ermm: You have made my night :biglaugh:

Thanks that's really handy to know if I decide to get a while new antenna! will save a lot of time and potential breakage of old trip clips and such :yes:
