S2000 Aerial

yep, ordered it @ a official honda dealer and the part nr was mentionned on the package...

I tried again but still the same problem: the antenna catches the thread but when I push the antenna a bit backwards it comes loose

The thread now is only 2mm shorter then the original one so I think the system to lay down the antenna is the problem.

There is a kind of extension on the original antenna which I think holds the antenna in an upwards position... here's a pic:

2 options I can try

- superglue the system to lay down the antenna so it doesn't move anymore

- drill a hole in the bottom of the antenna and foresee a similar extension as the original antenna (won't be easy though)

Anybody any other ideas? Is there an easy way to remove the antenna-bottom from the roof?

Cheers

PS Dave: can you also lay down yor antenna or is it a fix one?

Yep our aerials were the type that fold flat .... The extension on the end of the thread is just the anti-theft part that makes you have to pull hard to get the original aerial off.

All that is needed to fit the Honda one is to push down and turn / screw the new aerial in place..... As the thread bites it'll then turn about 3 or so complete revolutions at least..... Shouldn't come off easily at all.

Cheers

Dave.
