Short aerial for VW Golf GT Sport

[donkeydavid]

Hello all - my first post on Pistonheads

I need to get a shorter roof-aerial for my 2008 VW Golf GT Sport 170. The current one snags on the garage door when reversing out and gets bent back. Does anyone know where I can get one to screw into the existing roof mounting? VW don't make one and Halfords have nothing suitable. It needs to be good quality obviously. The wife has managed to 'lose' the current aerial altogether - don't ask!

Cheers. DonkeyDavid.

I just bought http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewItem.aspx?aid=2205...

Same signal strength as the standard one. Looks the part. Half the price of standard fit.

Chuffed.

Welcome to PH David

How long was the one that got lost and how much shorter does the new one need to be ?

Thanks for that, stewies minion. Looks just the job to me.

Cheers Mike! The old one is a standard aerial - about 12-15 inches long I'd guess. The new one probably needs to be about six inches shorter max length.

OK sounds like you are sorted but if not there are two on here one at 23cm and one at 40cm.
