Answers:
They normally just unscrew - get the right sized spanner or pair of pliers and turn anti-clockwise. Good luck!
the thin bit usually unscrews
if it on the roof and dark grey or black
Just unscrew it
just like the crackheads do , break it off!
Most unscrew or operate automatically. If you try to unscrew an
automatic one that's stuck you'll have a major problem (trust me
on this, LOL). Call a dealer's parts department if you don't see
a nut waiting to be unscrewed at the bottom.
It looks in the pictures of the car, that it is like a Jetta. Look for a split line at the Ariel base, if it is there, try unscrewing it by hand. I wouldn't recommend putting a wrench on it.
If you can't Screw it off you must be able to push it down,if you can't just get a bucket and a sponge!!
i have the same style of car and on mine it just unscrews. try it and find out.
mine screws off
definatly unscrews anti clockwise (by hand there not normally tight
most modern aerials unscrew from the base, but there might be a tiny screw in the base to stop theives. undo this if there is one
