Mounting the radio antenna (VW Golf 1)

Remove the plug at the top of the left wing.

If necessary, remove the wheel arch liner (see chapter "Body").

Insert the antenna from below into the hole in the wing.

Please note: the grip at the antenna leg must have good contact with the "ground". It may be necessary to scrape the metal a little until it shines. Contact with the "ground" is very important for good reception quality.

Protect non-insulated, shiny areas from corrosion with grease or sealing silicone paste.

Tighten the antenna union nut.

Remove the instrument panel (see chapter "Devices").

Remove the rubber plug located between the wheel well and the car interior. If there is no such hole, a special hole for the antenna cable must be drilled in the sheet in this place.

Protect exposed metal edges from corrosion.

Insert a suitable rubber grommet into the hole to protect against moisture.

Push the antenna cable through the rubber grommet towards the car interior.

If possible, lay the antenna cable behind the instrument panel in a layer of foam rubber and secure it so as to reduce vibration. Make sure there is sufficient distance to the heating and ventilation ducts.

The antenna leg is additionally secured to the front wing using a fixing bracket. Tighten the antenna union nut.
