This video contains general information about installing an antenna base to your MINI.
Installing an antenna base can seem like a complicated problem, but basically it’s a matter of attaching this to this.
This is the Antenna Base for a Clubman R55 or a Hatchback R56.
And this is the bracket that it attaches to. It’s what holds your antenna base in place and is located under your headliner.
And this is how they fit together.
Your base has a slot it in that is used to guide it into this bolt and then hold it in place.
So, this goes in here like this. Then you simply tighten the nut to secure the antenna base to your roof.
And this is where all your cables connect.
So those are the pieces that fit together. Next, is a generic instruction guide that outlines the basic steps of installing an antenna base.
Steps to Installing Your R55 Antenna Base
Gently remove the rubber weather stripping around the hatch area.
Carefully undo the headline and pull it down enough that you reach the antenna bracket. (The headliner is held in place by clips so that you can undo it and put it back in place once you’re done.)
You may have to also remove the handles on the roof above each rear window if you have them.
Once you have the headliner down and the Antenna Bracket/Holder exposed, unscrew the antenna base from the bracket holder.
From outside the car, gently remove the base from the holder to expose the wires. Disconnect the wires from the original antenna base and connect them to the new antenna base.
Place the new antenna base back into place and be sure the "footprint" of the new base will cover the holes in the car roof.
From inside, bolt the new antenna base down, and then reverse all processes to put the trim pieces back.
And there you have it. The basic instructions for installing your antenna base.
