Retro Manufacturing MV-4977-01-FC-11 Chrome OE-Style Dual Side Mount Replacement Antenna for Volkswagen

Hard to find this style antenna. Fit just the 35 year old original. Longer & stronger mast which picks up a signal better.

Good antenna.

I found this easy to install on my Blue Bus. A little bigger antenna connection than the stock antenna so had to remove control panel to install verses accessing through the side access door. Only one star as the antenna connector had rust on it. This needed addressing before could be installed. Antenna has great reception.

Bought this for my '37 Plymouth. Bolted right up to the old antenna holes. So easy. Great quality antenna. Just what I was looking for and I could not beat the price anywhere I looked. So, happy with this purchase.

Is it cheaply made? Yes, a little. Just be careful when installing it and don't expect to be able to windsurf by holding on to it, but its a great value. A little FYI- My installation required the wire to be connected to the 'top' / sliding mount- it DOES allow you to do so. You may need to expand the crimp in the cable where it flares to keep the cable from pushing through the nut. That's why 4 and not 5 stars. Would still purchase again though.

Overall good quality, I had to re-solder the wire at the end of the cable that screwed into the antenna, after that it works great.

Nice unit, fit my 1962 IH Scout perfectly

It's okay. Plastic chrome but installed easily in my street rod
