Electric aerial
 

1996 PF 4.2 Sport.

Has an electric aerial (presumably the original fit?) which amazingly does still work. However the mast is shorter than it ought to be (top seems to be missing, there is a thread on what is acting as the top at present) and doesn't fully retract.

Are the masts available separately for these or will I have to renew the whole thing?

Thanks

seen the masts advertised in the usa recently
they used to be available as an audi part ,there was more than one so be careful if they still are

video on methodology on Utube

Thanks - will see what I can find

Bought a new aerial in the end. From Amazon and pretty cheap but actually seems decent and even included a mounting grommet that matches the original. Radio now works!

After fitting it and took the old one apart, straightened the slightly bowed mast and put it back together properly after zeroing it. It now fully extends and retracts, though I think it has had a replacement mast before - which is about half the length of the original. I'm sticking with the new one.
