I know this subject has been much discussed in the past but here goes again.
After I foolishly removed the hatch tint using a clothes steamer with the hatch in the up position and thus allowing steam and water to flow under the trim the cars radio and remote key functions became intermittent and eventually stopped working all together.
I fixed the radio reception by installing a fender whip antenna but my remote key functions don't work at all.
****Recently I carefully removed the 2 piece antenna amps from under the trim at the top of the hatch. After opening the clips on plastic casings I noticed powdery greenish corrosion in parts of the circuit boards. I cleaned the boards and examined with a magnifying glass and could not spot any damage. Of course I realize that part of the resistors and other fine electronics may have blown that can not be spotted by the naked eye. And now my question is - how can I test the amp to determine if it will work before re-installing?

Also when removing the amps I did tear most of the conductive rubber/silicone contacts pads that press against the window contacts. Does anyone know where I may purchase replacements?

WHICH is the amp that controls the Key FOB>

It would be better answered under the W203 forum

Thanks - but it shows the W203 is for sedans and mine is a coupe.
