Internal aerials don't sound too clever to me @Fairygirl. too much like headlight designs that mean you have to pay a mechanic to get in and change a bulb.
I've driven Nissan cars for most of the past 30 years. First couple I had, there was a cover inside the bonnet and inside the boot for easy access to the lights. Literally a two minute job to replace the bulb. On my wife's Micra I couldn't even get my hand in to release the clip behind the light, never mind actually get it out to replace. Best £8 I've spent in a long time was a visit to Halfords and pay them to do it. Lots of cursing under breath and skinned knuckles but it wasn't me cursing and bleeding.
If you're using a mouse @B3, just right click, highlight the area and press backspace. I do that when I only want to use part of a quote. I could probably do it on the doofer at the bottom [can't remember what it's called ] but it isn't really working properly now. Well - the trip to the garage. After explaining what I was told to do, the bloke said 'just take a seat - it won't be long'. I said 'that's not what the other bloke said on the phone yesterday', so off he went to speak to someone. I was sitting where I could see my car, and the next thing - there was this chap at my car, screwing in - an aerial. When he came back I said 'I thought it was an internal thing that needed sorted, the way the bloke spoke?' 'No' says he. I said 'if I'd known, I could have bought the bit and done it myself'. He said I wouldn't have to pay the fitting charge [ I saved a tenner ] but he agreed that it looks like someone's nicked the small external bit. I've used the car so infrequently in the last few months, that I probably didn't even notice that short bit was missing. Hey ho.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

When I bought my current car it was the display one that had been in the showroom. It was missing the external aerial so they fitted a new one (the chap said someone had probably nicked it). Some time later I found it in the storage compartment under the false floor of the boot. I guess someone put it there to stop it getting nicked .
