Hi, I have had to change the doormirror on my VW T5. It has the radio aerial in it. The new mirror was a pattern part and although the new mirror had fixings for the aerial in it, the plug on the coax would not go through the mirror 'spindle' to enter the door panel.
I had to cut it and re-join. I soldered the core wire, taped it up and sort of put the braid back and soldered a part of the braid together.
The radio is now losing signal all the time when moving. What is the best way to do it, wrap it in foil or something?
Please note that the coax is only about 4 mm did.
