Z4 Aerial
Hi all,
After a bit of advice!
Is the aerial in the attached picture a standard fitment?
If so, is the top part supposed to screw off? I've tried all my brute force but it doesnt unscrew.
Reason I ask is because I have purchased a car cover and it gets in the way somewhat!

Get some wd40 in there they do like to seize up
If you do snap it off I’ve got spares it’s a fairly easy replacement

that, sir, is the original whippy aerial. if you do get it off, a dab of copper grease when you screw it back in again will help prevent future seizing.

You will need a T25 when I mean if you break it had exactly the same thing I noticed the previous owner had a go as well could see the plier marks on the Ariel I soaked it for days and it still snapped I ordered a cheap stubby off eBay and a original base plate

As above, put a dab of copper grease on the threads when you fit it again.
And it's the best aerial for the classic, Z4
