[s-cars] What's the go to Avant antenna replacement?

[Harold McComas]

The antenna you want I believe is the Fuba Betaflex-D. I installed one on my 
old '85 GTI.  I remember some of the OEM antennas on the GTI's had a square 
hole. The one I bought wasn't OEM ( but the same manufacturer). Some of the 
cheaper replacement look-alike antennas don't have the amplified base. 
Usually when the amplifier is fried you don't get AM reception.

There should be plenty of VW/Audi shops that carry it.  Here is one for a 
price comparison: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Golf/Body/7/2
