Acute Angle Retractable Aerial - Top Quality

Top quality acute angle fully retractable aerial, designed to mount on the left (passenger side / nearside) of the windscreen area on compatible VW models. This style of aerial is correct for later vehicles and offers both period-correct appearance and reliable radio reception.

The aerial is mounted through the body panel and angled to follow the windscreen line. It extends to full height for optimal signal reception and retracts down when not in use, helping protect it from damage and maintaining a clean exterior look.

Aerials work by receiving radio frequency signals and transmitting them to the vehicle’s radio unit. A worn or damaged aerial can result in poor reception, signal interference, or complete loss of radio function. This high-quality replacement ensures strong, consistent signal pickup, improving audio clarity and overall radio performance.

Manufactured to a high standard, this unit offers smooth telescopic operation and durability for long-term use. Ideal for restoration projects or as a quality upgrade over worn original units.

Installation requires mounting through the correct body aperture on the left-hand side. Ensure correct routing of the aerial cable to the radio unit and check for good earth contact during installation for best performance.
