What to Do If the Antenna of Baojun 730 Breaks?

Pry the gap between the antenna and the roof joint surface, pull it upward by hand to remove the antenna, connect the internal wiring of the antenna, and then attach the new antenna. Use 3M adhesive to stick it to the vehicle roof. When removing, you can pry the edge of the antenna with a blade to achieve removal. The new antenna should also be firmly attached using 3M adhesive. Whether in the process of removing the old antenna or replacing it with a new one, it is important to pay attention to the correct use of the different functions of the car.

I just replaced the antenna on my Baojun 730 myself last week. Don't panic if your antenna breaks - as someone who frequently DIYs car repairs, I found it quite simple. Just buy an original shark fin antenna from Taobao or an auto parts market for just a few dozen yuan, making sure the model matches the 730's base. When removing the old antenna, use a wrench to slowly loosen it to avoid scratching the car paint. Align the new one with the base and tighten it securely to ensure waterproofing. The whole process takes about half an hour, saving over 100 yuan in repair fees. I did notice slightly worse radio reception after the antenna broke, but Bluetooth music and phone navigation still work fine. Try to park away from tree branches to prevent future breaks. I recommend watching video tutorials before attempting - it's safe and risk-free.

As someone who frequently repairs cars, I recommend you go to a professional shop for this. Although a broken antenna may seem minor, it could damage the base or cause water leakage that corrodes wiring, leading to complete radio failure. Have a technician replace the antenna—they have the proper tools to inspect wiring conditions. The Baojun 730's antenna installation requires attention to detail, and using the correct model ensures clear radio reception. The repair cost is around 100 yuan, covering both labor and parts, which is much more reliable than DIY attempts. Also, be cautious driving in rain with a broken antenna, as water ingress could damage roof electronics.

I've been driving the Baojun 730 for several years. The broken antenna doesn't affect much, just slightly weaker radio signals, but I usually use Bluetooth to play music from my phone or listen via USB, so life goes on as usual. Navigation works fine during commutes, and while music is a bit unclear on highways, it's acceptable. If you care about radio, you can buy a cheap antenna online and try screwing it in yourself. If you're really lazy, temporarily fix it with tape and deal with it later. The antenna is a minor issue that doesn't affect safe driving, so don't overthink it.
