Hi Dale,how do these fit over a status aeriel?or can these aeriels be removed before putting on the cover. It seems we would need to put a tennis ball over it to stop it breaking through the cover.Sorry if this seems a daft question but we do not want to break our cover. Vanessa

The spike on top unscrews.

I had the idea of making a box from polystyrene blocks, Using tape to hold them together the just drop this over the antenna before fitting the cover.

Now i have the sat dish from lidl i am thinking of removing the status dish.

Anyone know if there is a purpose made cover to replace it?

You can remove the aerial and leave the base in place. You should have received a plastic plug for the hole along with an allen key, aerial lead and the instructions with the 'van.
