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

[Harold McComas]

That $15 price is just for the antenna mast not the complete assembly ( base, etc). Are you looking for just the mast?  If so that should work fine.

  Hmmm sooooo, I think this might work?  Could be the lowest $ around as I think ebay was $36, .de autoparts $27 and this place $15?
  Is this the right one?   http://www.eurosportacc.com/vw_audi_oe_fuba_antennas.htm
  Thanks everyone!

    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

      I guess 13 years is about the life of der roof antenna.   I am sure too,
      that somewhere over the last 13 years the antenna replacement was
      mentioned.  Believing my own would last forever of course, I never paid
      antennation.
      TIA!
