My antenna mast is missing part of the rubber around the bottom part,and I'd like to replace it - with a shorter mast if possible. Which masts fit?? I bought one thinking it was right, but it was the standard VW/Audi thread size, and I guess this one is bigger?
I've searched but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks!

different. You should really get a proper reading of threads using a gauge, and go from there.

I have an ECS Tuning stubby on my 01 and it fits fine(with the 6mm thead, also came with a 5mm adapter)

None of the cheaper alternatives will fit the bigger threads (believe me I tried). You will need to spend some time with the VW parts guy but it is worth the ~$40 savings.
