W116 W123 W126 Aftermarket Power Antenna Replacement Kit

An inexpensive and reliable alternative complete with Kent's detailed install and wiring video instructions.

Power Hirschmann antennas are no longer available new. It is possible to remove and repair the old Hirschmanns if you are willing to dig in and spend time cleaning, adjusting, lubing, etc. There are a number of inexpensive antennas available but this is the best one we have found for the older 1970's and 1980's Mercedes Benz. It has the best attachment grommets and attachments that fit these older Mercedes. BUT... do not expect Hirschmann's quality. Look at the price!
