Hi I cannot seem to find an aerial/antenna that will fit my car … the one it came with was severely worn and the screw coming out of the base is super thin (4mm?? I think ) and all aerials I can find come with a 6mm hole and additional screws but I can’t remove the one that’s currently in the base 🥲🥲 does anyone know what I need to buy or any ideas ? Can take pics if needed 

Hi, I've also got a mk3 and my aerial is manky - the rubber bit is all spongy, but I've  tended to leave well alone. But Ie dbean aerial search for you on Talkford and here are some results that might be useful.

Actually, there's at least 3 pages of results, too many for me to add, hopefully what I've listed might give you some good ideas. 

YThank you kindly for the replies and links. Was hoping I wouldn’t have to replace the base as I’m not the most handy but hopefully it’s not too difficult. I’m still puzzled as to why I can’t find an aerial with the right thread that will screw on 🤣

Well  years ago in Tesco  in a clearance bin I picked up a short telescopic aerial  that had 2 alternative sized threaded studs with it, perhaps the Mk3 is just too old now for a 3rd party supplier of aerials to be bothered.
