GPS Shark fin removal? How!
Hi all,
my gps has started giving false locations intermittently. I have read that it is quite common and generally the GPS antenna failing.
I have got a replacement, but not sure how to remove the old one! It looks like a screw fit underneath which I guess is under the headlining? Is there an easy way to access this without taking half the car apart? Has anyone else had this problem?
The car is a 2012 E250 coupe.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks very much for this.
I was hoping there was an easy way without removing the headlining and all interior trim, but I guess not!
That's my jobs for the weekend then!
Thanks again.
