  Q: How to remove and refit the antenna on Volvo V40?

  A:

  For saloon models, start by opening the boot lid, removing the retaining screws, and removing the luggage compartment floor panel. Next, strip the boot lid sealing strip away from the left hand side and base of the boot lid aperture then carefully unclip and remove the luggage compartment rear trim panel. Remove the fasteners on the left-hand side trim panel by loosening the center screws and pulling out the entire fastener, and then fold the back of the trim panel inwards to reach the aerial. To have better access, remove the front fasteners behind the rear seat back and remove the panel altogether. Disconnect the aerial lead and undo the retaining bolt fixing the aerial earth lead to the body. Trace the drain tube back from the bottom of the aerial and release its sealing grommet from the body. Slacken and remove the mounting bolt, and then disconnect the wiring connector from the aerial. Free the top end of the aerial from the sealing grommet and remove it from the car, also remove the sealing grommet from the body and store it with the aerial. Refitting is undertaken in reverse order and ensures the sealing grommet is correctly fitted and that the aerial mounting lug is correctly located in its slot in the body. For estate models, use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to carefully prise the rear courtesy light unit out from the headlining to get access to the base of the aerial. Unclip the connectors from the roof, and then disconnect both the aerial lead and wiring connector, being careful not to allow the vehicle end of the lead/wiring to disappear behind the roof lining. Unscrew the retaining nut and remove the aerial from the roof and note the rubber seal. Refitting the order is backwards so that the rubber seal is in good condition.
