AntennaMastsRus Compatible Volkswagen 1993 2002 1HM 035 539B Review

I bought this for my 2001 VW Convertible. The fit was a bit off as it left a small gap. Overall, this serves a purpose and helps prevent water ingress.

Revain does not always fit my cars. But on this subject it was correct. This fits my 2000 VW convertible. I also bought a small 4" antenna.

Too expensive for a piece of plastic but it's the only one I could find for my 1999 VW Convertible so no choice. I boiled it for two minutes and used some lube to put it on the base, not perfect but looks good enough.

Perfect fit for wings and neckline. I put the sleeve in boiling water, put petroleum jelly over the square, no rubber, a pair of gloves and a nozzle on the sleeve, it fits with no problems. All work is carried out from the top of the wing.

For those having trouble fitting a new grommet to the antenna housing. It took a while to search through some VW forums, but we found a fix that makes the installation easier.

I had to push a little, clamp it with a wrench and push down slowly, but it slid down and firmly entered the hole in the wing for the antennas. The seal around the wing worked. Feel the inside of the wing, there are no gaps. This is a tight fit. (I have no idea where the original part went - potholes in New Jersey are pretty annoying - but I'm really glad someone thought of making a…

The only thing I didn't like was the price (hence it took me about 4 months to buy it) but if like me you've been looking for that MKIII golf part you know it's there . there is not much. However, it fit perfectly and was easy to assemble. Is it worth it? No. Even at $5 I'd feel cheated on this part, but beggars can't make up their minds and at least this works well and fits snugly. If you can control the price, buy it. Looks very high quality and hopefully lasts a long time.
