I have a 2000 E320. Recently the rubberboot (cover)for the radio antenna came off in the car wash. It looks like it rotted around the base and tore off. Local dealer says that theboot is not a seperate item and I must buy the entire antenna assembly. I have been online looking for the boot with no luck. Anyone know where I might find this part without buying the entire assembly?

 

That's the ctel and teleaid antenna for peeps with that option.The radio antenna is intergrated into the rear window.
If you want to replace the part ask over on mbworld.org or benzworld.org w210 sections and see if someone is parting one out.Or some of the benz wrecking yards might have one.

Yea, too bad!

My older 1989 300E had the same problem. Older technolgy cost only $4 for the outside rubberboot coverfor the antenna mast that was readily available on the internet.

 

New diy for the teleaid antenna fix
