   hey i bought a bee sting aerial from someone on here, anyway i tried to put it on total disaster.
   
   basicly the normal aerial i tried pulling it off as thought thats how it came off ooops i snapped it right from the base.
   
   so i looked on here found a thread that says take the bolt off from behind the interior light i did that took the old aerial off but now theres nothing to screw the new aerial onto if it makes any sense lol
   
   the bee sting aerial needs something screwed into it and the old aerial had the screw bit going through the roof and bolted at the other end ? im well confused to say the least lol
   
   can take pics if needed cheers

   Doesn't the new aerial screw into the bolt mate? Or even the base part of the aerial if there is one?

   Sounds like your bee-sting was only a replacement aerial end not the whole unit- which would've worked had you not broken the old one
   
   Try and get a 2nd hand aerial base from a pal/breakers yard/fleaBay etc. or buy a new one.
   
   P.S. Aerials "unscrew" they don't "pull off" bu I guess you know that now...lol Don't feel too bad though as most of the aerials rust onto their bases and can be a real pain to unscrew and often get broken.

    make sure when fitting it you get it sealed right or it will leak like a siv.
