    New So Cal member here and happy about it.

    I'll also look to post this question in the proper area.

    My antenna base has loosened. Can I drop just the rear portion (without creasing it) to get to the nut or do I have the pull the entire headliner out?

    2009 Clubman S.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to M/A the FUN Mini site. :Thumbsup:

    You should be able to do that without taking the whole headliner out.

    I had to replace the the base on my 2011 Clubman S and was able to do it without removing the whole headliner. You'll need to remove the back trim pieces to be able to get the headliner pulled down. Just take your time getting it pulled down enough to get a socket in there.

    Welcome...
    What the others said... Just don't armstrong the nut... There is a special toothed washer.... Too tight and you'll mark the panel.... just "snug" it.
