Clean the original aerial housing and let it dry completely. The surface must be free from dust, grease and polish.

Peel away the 3M adhesive backing without touching the exposed adhesive.

Align the cover and press it evenly onto the original trim, working across the contact areas.

Check that the edges are seated and all nearby moving parts and openings remain clear. Follow the supplied adhesive instructions for setting time before washing.

Really nice upgrade to the original aerial base. Why BMW/Mini decided to give us a matte finish aerial base on a car with gloss black roof options is beyond me! But, this does the trick. Unscrew the antenna first, wipe down the original with some alcohol wipes and put the new cover over the top. Takes less than 2 mins to do and really does improve the roof look.
