> I am in need of an antenna for an 89 Vanagon Carat


A nice quality new antenna is very cheap.

I have two later style Vanagon antennas (antennae?) that fully retract.
These are the style that mounts on the front of the van, just below the
windshield.

FM09V, from Jopex/Denmark, has a silver base and silver mast, and is
$8.95:

FM09VH, from Hella, has a black base and silver mast, and is $14.95:

I put the Hella on my '89 Westy recently and it looks every bit as good
as the VW one (but is fully retractable).

Some early Vanagons have a side mounted antenna instead of a front
mounted one:
With black base, $8.95:

With silver base, $17.95:

Both have a silver non-retractable mast.
