no. I believe theres a nut inside the car that holds it on. Between the roof and the lining inside the car.
I think some members have removed it by undoing the rear end of the lining and undoing the nut (10mm IIRC), however you need to be very careful doing this as the roof lining is very delicate and once its creased it will never be the same again

When its removed it leaves a little square hole, but i put a round 19mm grommet into it and it fits perfectly.

i am soooo tempted to remove my aerial and put a grommet in its place. I don't listen to the aerial anyway. Any pictures of the roof without the aerial??
