How do you remove the roof lining to access the aerial base? My dab failed ages ago so going to swap it. Has anyone done this before? Thanks!

I don't think YouTube is ready for me to break all the fir clips and fail haha
Remove boot trim and pull the 2 plastic retaining plugs from the roof then take out both the side panel trims the fixings screw for those are behind the airbag emblem
Don't worry the air bag is not behind this partyou should then enable to pull roof lining down enough for access to the 13mm bolt

Can't these bases be repaired at all, my 2017 1.6d has the same fault and the idea of spending £90 ( the cheapest I've found) just to listen to radio 2 hurts

Thanks, waiting for your outcome. Further to my problem twice in the last week I've got a DAB signal ( and held it ) once when the car was being jet- washed and once when parked on the drive 4 ft from the wi-fi router. I have no idea if this is relevant .also since my washer bottle ran dry, no water comes out of the rear nozzle.
