To remove the aerial on a Ford Focus, you can follow these steps:
1. Grab the antenna base and gently wiggle it from side to side and up at the same time. This should cause the clip to fall off.
2. Gently pull the base off the roof, and you will see two wires that were previously freed.
3. Reach back into the liner and locate the metal clip.
4. To reinstall the antenna base, note that it can only go back one way. It cannot be put back crooked.
5. Look below and notice the orientation of the base, metal clip, and 10mm bolt. The clip has to be inserted from under the roof and can only fit one way in the base.
Please note that the removal procedure may vary slightly depending on the specific model and year of your Ford Focus. It’s always a good idea to consult the vehicle’s manual or seek professional assistance if you are unsure.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
