      what you done to it obbzi? its dead easy really. on the mkv its slightly different pm me if you struggle and need some help

      ive added it to the list. from memory the bolt is 21mm and you can do it carefully just undoing the top half of the C pillars. if doing it this way keep an eye on the headliner as pushing too much can crease it and theres not loads of room there.

      Snapped my aerial off reversing into my garage see thread in general section), didn't open the garage door enough! Need to source an aerial base now and decide whether to go shark fin or stubby, decisions decisions!
