bee sting Arial....?

[spanishbhoy]

Hi guys...

Bought a bee sting Arial to replace my long wobbly one and I bought it off amazon which advertised it as being for clios...

looks like it's a universal one tho And comes with 2 types of screws. Now when I screw it in it dosnt screw all the way to the bottom. means that theres a small bit if the screw exposed.... Not a massive amount maybe bout 2 mm or something... But pisses me off it dosnt go all the way.... will it cause any problems if I leave it as it is ? Or should I bin it... Put my wobbly one back on and find another from somewhere..,,

just cut the screw so it doesnt hit the bottom?

try using a smaller screw maybe? so that it doesn't come out by 2mm?

with what? Won't I f**k up the thread?

Bin it... it won't get good reception and they look a bit pants. You could try a Mazda 3 aerial, or a Citroen C2 VTS aerial (eBay) - both look better and are standard aerials. Just small!

Cool... might just keep it in till I get a better replacement . Tbh don't really listen to radio.... just hate my long wobbly Arial hitting my spoiler everytime I have my boot open

just cut the screw with a hacksaw, if your carefull you'll be fine, just file the egdes after.

cut it, it will be fine, i did a similar thing with some all thread today at work to make a jig, Its shouldnt effect the thread

I got one of these arials. Poor reception and even though I never listen to the radio I like to know I have the option.
