OEM dash switches - where?
Morning guys.

I have a 2010 Puma 90 XS. On the top of the dash there is a row of push switches for the demist, rear wiper, heated screen etc and there is on on the end that is blanked. I want to fit an electric aerial and I want a switch to manually move it up and down when off road. Any idea where I could get an OEM push switch with no symbol on it for this?

Many thanks

Scrawf

You'd have to make one

Just pick your switch type (fog or heated window) and then replace the cap with the blank

I think a few people have had issues fitting an electric ariel due to the lack of space. Might be worth searching the forum for advice.

Sounds to me like a complicated solution to a simple problem, as driver9 ^ says ^, space under the wing is very limited for fitting an electric aerial so why not fit one of those stubby flexible type aerials instead ?

Pop a "shark fin" aerial on the roof... Not much to snag, just a slight PITA to fit... ... ,-------,

On my Defender I have a vintage but bought new "Autovox SA-86" stainless steel electrical aerial manual so I can decide how extend or close. It fit perfectly.
