Default Antenna wiring diagram '89 560SEL

Can anyone provide me with a wiring diagram for the connector that plugs into the antenna in the trunk of a 1989 560SEL? Long story, but the wires were pulled out of the plug and I need to get them back in the proper place.
Okay, here's your laugh for the day... I had the car for sale and a guy took it for a test drive. He decided to run it through a car wash, left the antenna up and broke it off. He comes back and says he'll pay to get the antenna repaired. I get an estimate from the local MB dealer and tell him. He says that's too high and he can get his mechanic to do it for less. So I carry the car to his mechanic, (can you tell it goes downhill from here?), and his mechanic says he'll put a new antenna on. When the car is done, I find the dash switch doesn't work, so I go back inside to inquire about it. I'm told that it won't work because they put an aftermarket antenna on. I ask them why they did that, and they tell me because that's what the owner wanted. WHAT???? I'm the owner. Seems the guy told his mechanic that the car was his. The shop had cut the screw-on connector from the antenna cable off, and pulled all the wires out of the power connector and cut the ends off. So now I have to buy a new antenna cable, a new mast and figure out where the wires go in the power connector.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that broken antenna is good for whacking the bottom of the guy who test drive your car.

then you whack yourself also for having him bring your car to the carwash without monitoring it.

Haha. You let someone test drive your car alone? Maybe the guy wanted to get it washed so he can see how the paint looks.
