DAB Windscreen Aerial

**exmouthlocal** · 5th April 2018, 08:57

Morning, I've had a DAB stereo and internal windscreen aerial for awhile with no issues on reception. Last week I need a new windscreen due to a chip becoming a crack, and had to remove the windscreen aerial during fitting of the new windscreen. I used a stanley blade and it all came off in one piece no cracks or tears etc

When going back on the aerial had def lost some of its stickiness but went up okay and hasn't come away from the windscreen since, but reception has been really rubbish since, does anyone know if there are there any glues or solvents I could try and use to resurrect my aerial or should I bite the bullet and buy a new one?

Whether it is stuck firmly or not shouldn't alter the reception. When I tried one I use insulation tape on the back of the aerial to fix it to allow me to take it back 'unused'. It sounds as if you may have damaged the aerial taking it off.
