Radio Aerial - Help Please

Gents, I managed to snap the manual extending radio aerial, (a pillar, drivers side), on a tree branch, (yes, forgot to push it in, b*gger!). Does the assembled forum know of anywhere online where I can order a new one, (looks a reasonably easy fix), or am I in for a trip to my local Stealer?..

Thanks

Rich.

Hi, When I bought my Jimny the aerial was already snapped off at the base. However using pliers I managed to pull it out to full extension, where there was enough left to use as a functioning aerial. I found a 'bung' in the my bits bin, stuck in on the end

job done.

Hope you've enough left, cos new ones are not cheap.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThere ya go, $29.00

ive compeltely replaced one start to finish, wasnt a fun job

it goes down the a pillar, across the dash and obviously to the back of the stereo

Yep had mine out when I fitted snorkel. If you end up removing it make sure you connect a line of some kind so you can guide the new wire back to the right place as will try to disapear behind the kick panel

The soft top and hard top aerials are different part numbers, make sure you order the right one.

I've been looking out for a cheap hard top one for the last 12 months....

Yes me too ..... maybe something for Martin to add to the store.

I broke mine twice already ...... :ohmy:

I'm just reading this with interest, mine is also broken, but also the pillar is bashed in and the roof isn't exactly in perfect shape. I think I will just get one of those bendy ones so when my jimny is next on its roof or in the trees it should survive.

Yeah seems like quite a common problem as mine has snapped at the base too! However ive been contemplating using the hole to replace the aerial for a cable to feed some new roof lights and fitting a stick on windscreen aerial or a rubber duck type elsewhere on the car.

I have only seen the genuine, expensive Suzuki ones.

As always, I can get the genuine Suzuki ones if you want, I can get Genuine Suzuki parts but they tend to be at the Dealer price (ie. I get a discount but by the time I have added something back on for me they are back at Dealer price). However the advantage is that you dont have to make the trip, I will post them to you.

For example: recently I have provided genuine parts for a gearbox rebuild and genuine Hardtops for those softtop owners not wanting another wet winter. But the demand is not high enough to warrant "stock". Just Ask!

I've bent mine twice in 2 directions, i fear it wont last for a 3rd time so just keep it out by a short amount now. All it means is i quickly lose local channels - no big deal as they are all lame now! Just have to stick to my Sclub 7 cd's instead. :laugh:

Thanks everyone for your help and feedback, as ever very informative. I'll have a think and maybe get one ordered, (thanks Martin). Have a good weekend all!
