Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / November 2005306 FM Aerial
Afternoon, Does the FM aerial on a 306 (99 estate model) actually retract, unscrew etc or is it only removeable using methods perhaps a little extreme for the purposes of going through a car wash? I can't quite believe i'm having to ask this question but i'm baffled. Help appreciated.

Once you remove the aerial, apply some copper grease to prevent it seizing again. Or you could do what the dealer had to do to my C5 and he removed the headlining to remove the aerial base from the inside.

The threads are galvanised and therefore oxidise leaving a crusty residue which embeds itself into the thread thus seizing the mast to the base. A pair of grips should suffice to remove the mast (dont forget to wrap some cloth around the mast first to protect it), once removed clean the base with a wire brush, grease and refit.

Or just push it flat to the roof, never had a problem doing that on my 405, which had seized threads. -- r > Or just push it flat to the roof, never had a problem doing that on my 405, > which had seized threads. I was hoping someone was going to suggest that, as this thing just won't move. I could twist harder, but it feels like it wants to break. Flat to the roof it is. Thanks to the others too though. |
