I've finally done it. Been hearing all the erroneous reports, the alleged suppliers, and all kinds of fictitious prices, for years, and I finally took the matter into my own hands. So, after getting no where here o the list, I went to my buddy at VW, and told him what I wanted to do, and he suggested using a 91 Vanagon antenna which had a manual retractable set-up. He had zero listings for a factory electric unit. It listed for $53.35, and after he gave me 20% off, it cost me $42.68. I figure it this way---I've lost 3 antenna's already, at $8.00 ea., going through car washes, plus my exorbitant labor rate to myself, so if nothing else, I won't have to be doing this stupid job again. Push the antenna flush----blast through the si habla, car wash, el dryo--- pull the antenna up-----Hasta Lavista Baby !! Mucho Magnifico!!
