Who It's For

This product is for DIYers with moderate mechanical skill, independent mechanics, or Mini owners who need a direct replacement for the large type antenna base and want the included short sport antenna and gasket. It is especially useful when the original roof mount is worn, cracked, or leaking and an OE-style replacement is preferred.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of Mini models that require the small type antenna base or anyone needing a telescoping or powered mast style antenna, since this listing is explicitly the large type and includes a short sport antenna only.
