Video tutorial on how to remove the radio antenna from a Volkswagen Golf MK4 and repair on a budget. As for removing the antenna from a Jetta or Bora MK4, the procedure it slightly different to gain access to the antenna nut. This antenna can be replaced either with an OEM unit or a shark fine rather than repairing the existing assembly. After a while, the moisture does penetrate the internals and will corrode the electronics, which in turn prevents the booster in the antenna from working correctly. This will eventually give your radio poor reception. After this repair the antenna worked excellent and I put about 100,000km on the car until I decided to sell it. This particular tutorial was done on a 2004 Volkswagen Golf.
