Mangowalk 7" Rubber Antenna Mast

So how do you replace the part that is mounted to the roof if it is cracking and falling apart? I know that antenna portion screws into the part mounted on the roof....

OH! Well, the part that mounts to the roof is held on by a nut with sharp teeth accessible from under the headliner. You have to carefully pop off the "vented" plastic piece that secures the headliner, then you'll see the wires to the 3rd brake light and the FM antenna. Unplug the antenna mount from the inside and unscrew that nut with the teeth... no, don't use YOUR teeth... Reassemble!

Be care on the Volkswagen antennas, though, as I think they're 6mm. I guess many VX's have the 6mm female, but mine was definately 5mm and it does't look like the roof-mounted base had been altered.

This antenna, and many other after-market, non-vehicle specific ones, have multiple adapters.
