    Default Will this aerial leave a hole in windscreen if take off?

    gday guys,
    Just bought a car and it has an aerial on the rear windscreen that looks terrible, i dont think it is in use for anything. however i am worried that if i rip it of there will be a hole in the glass????

    I imagine it would. You can probably unclip the little cover bit from the inside and see how it is attached

    I don't believe it would leave a hole. As already said, I believe it would transmit through the glass wirelessly/infrared etc. I would be very scared if a hole had to be drilled through either front or rear screens for any reason on my car. I don't believe it would be safe to go drilling through glass on cars either.

    That is a mobile phone aerial, it's stuck on either side of the window with double sided tape. There will be no hole in the glass but if you have tint you may be missing a bit under the box on the inside though. You'll be able to get it off with a razor blade.

    thanks for the info guys,
    what would be the best thing to use to get it of (seemed very very firm when i tried to pull it)
    eucalyptus oil? heat it with hair dryer?
    ?

    EDIT: just read the bit about the razor blade, will this scratch the glass?
