Aerial problem

[lennythelion]

Hi,

I have just purchased a tepee outdoor (same as the xtr model), and was hoping someone could explain how the radio aerial unfolds as this was scraping on the multistorey entry barrier earlier making a horrific sound and I don't want to risk it getting damaged.

Thanks

How do you mean unfolds, doesn't it just pivot on the roof mount, sometimes they can be a bit stiff and need a good tug

Should just be able to lift or lower it by pivoting, I prefer to keep it above the height of roof bars as its better for aerial to scrape rather than roof bars. Quite good warning prior to entering carparks etc.

Thanks Taxi & Berlingo HDi,

it just needed a bit of gentle encouragement with some pliers, think I'll get the tape measure out before I risk the multistorey with it only being 6' 3" clear.

I agree with taxi its a great warning so you don't do some serious damage to your car
