You can buy the Hirsch version through Blau. These are supposed to be direct 
replacements but the one we got still needed some modifications to get it in. 
The power leads needed adapter leads, and the antenna lead in the car had to 
be cut from it's ties and pulled in order to reach the antenna connector on 
the new antenna. The body of the new antenna is a little different from the 
original one, the motor sits a little higher and on the other side of the 
mast. The antenna works great, but it's not a straight replacement. Also Blau 
and Hirsch were no help at all with any of the questions I had.
