Have I got a stiffy?

Due to the roads round here my (black) Pro` is hard to keep clean so I risked to local car wash......

......Prior to driving in I tried to remove the Aerial but it felt like any more force and I`d rip the base off the roof!!!!!

Has anyone else tried or managed to remove their`s.

I've replaced mine with Peugeot 807:

That looks neat...was it a struggle to remove it?
Can you remember if it was a left or right hand thread.....as I said I really don`t want to force it.

When I first got my car in Feb, I tried to remove arial.... It wouldn't budge, so I took it EMG in Kings Lynn and they ended up having to replace the whole base and arial!!!!!!

May pop in to NMG in Norwich and ask them then...thanks for the info.

I removed mine by hand... no major struggle.

Just had a go at removing the aerial from my SW. Standard thread, anti clockwise to remove, came off no bother. The thought of using a car wash that you drive through makes me cringe.

I know it`s frowned upon but I really don`t have the time to keep it `Hand` clean all the time. I`ve been through my polish & wax phase and forum picture posting....although I love the Kia it`s my car now...a workhorse for the family, I do 100 miles a day to & from work plus weekend driving (& on Norfolk non kerbed mucky roads) it`s impossible to keep in tip top condition.
