if it's anything like the one in the mk3, it's going to be the most balls-ache annoying job you've ever tried

i'd rather do the engine out again than have to replace my aerial a second time

what have you tried so far? you have to unscrew it from the top first if i remember rightly. if at all possible see if you can get the wire out of the old one "clean" and connect it to the new one, as getting the aerial in/out of the wing is a pain but threading the wires out of/into the dash is even worse. and that's with me having the brainwave to tie a string to the old wire as it went out, to pull the new on through with.
