Help needed fitting DAB Aerial

Hi All & Jeff

Not sure how to fit Radioguy (Sean) DAB Aerial to my screen

I intend fitting to top of windscreen, passenger side. I will clean glass thoroughly first. There are 2 yellow tapes extending from either side of central box. I can see a single element in these tapes, which I assume is the element itself. How do I expose the element ? Do I peel off one side of the tape leaving the element still stuck to the other tape, then stick that tape (element against the glass) firmly, then peel the yellow tape away leaving the element alone stuck to the glass ?

Or am I going about it the wrong way altogether

Sorry if this is a bit of a obvious questions, but I'm all finger and thumbs with this sort of thing

Any help appreciated

Thank you

I have not fit mine yet Alf, but if fitting it I would try it it stuck lightly at first until you find the best way to have it, perhaps a little blu-tak as a temp measure.

The aerial element remains stuck to the tape so you just peel the backing off to reveal the sticky side.
Ken's idea is good but it is very adhesive so be careful as removing it can easily break the delicate element
