Ariel base

(1/7) > >>

Top Cat:
As above really how do i remove the base under the ariel on the roof, i am guessing i have to pull the trim and lining back to reveal a bolt. If so how does the trim come off .  :happy2:

JPC:
i havent done it on a mk5 to be honest, but i have with a mk4.

it really is a tough job, becuase you dont want to bend the headlining.

theres a lot of torx screws to remove around rear grab handles, rear lights etc. you will need to remove the C pillar covers too. and possible the B. that will give you enough room to move it outa the way without bending the lining.

then you'll need a 14mm (i think) spanner to take off the bolt, then pull the base out from the outside.

+ BHP for not spamming good sir? haha!
