I need to fit a roof aerial, could someone kindly tell me how the cab roof cloth/lining is best removed without damage so I can thread the cable through, many thanks Stephen.

Remove the tension from the front wires and remove the interior light. Fit the aerial close to the front edge so you can get to the base of it through the hole left by the interior light. Cable can be persuaded across the header rail and down the A post. Refit interior light and retension cables - no need to remove the roof lining - Simples !! :lol:

They are underneath the dash (you might have to remove glovebox liners) and they run down from the A pillar. The wires are like bicycle brake cables and are held in tension by a screw into the dash panel or kidney panel.
