Nissan Micra K12 - Aerial broken off at thread - replacement? - mattie_uk

Hi all

The aerial has broken off at the thread, meaning we need to repalce the aerial base and mast.

Nissan want around £15 for the base, but over £30 for the mast! Am I correct in assuming I can go for a third-party aerial base? My main worry would be on leakage if the seals around the base aren't correctly sized.

Also, I gather I'll need to pop the roof lining off to fit, is this an onorous job (more precisely, is getting it refitted in a tidy manner an onerous job)?

All advice gratefully received

Matt
