Electric conductive silicone contacts antenna rear window

Dear members. I have a big problem. A company installed a new rear window in my car after hail damage. But now the radio signal is gone. I removed the top etc. of my car to acces the antenna.

I checked the boards and there is no water damage on the boards. So I removed the back parts of the antenna from the rear window with 80 degrees Celsius and a plastic removal tool. The parts came loose without problems. When I looked on the back of the antenna, I saw that the Electric Conductive contacts where cutoff ( I think the company did it with a sharp knife. But they didn't do anything wrong they said.)

I called to Mercedes garage and looked on internet for silicone contacts. But I can find them nowhere.

Does someone have a broken antenne with good silicone pads on it? Or does someone know where I can get these silicone contacts?

Thank you very much. See added pictures. I need the blue contacts.

Where are the wires? Or did you remove the circuit board from the black plastic?
Since I don't have an antenna in front of me, are the silicone things part of the black plastic piece or the circuit board?

The contacts are from the back of the antenna part. I removed the front part. That was a easy job. Here are pictures of the front part. But I need the contacts in the back part of the antenna. The blue small contacts.

Here a picture with an arrow that points to the electric conductive silicone rubber.

Does anyone by any chance have the rubber feet for the amplifier available? I need to take apart mine. I think my tint guy screwed these up

Small Blue conductive contacts needed please

Hi there, would live a few of these if anyone has some and are willing to part with them? My key fob is not working at all and suspect this might be the issue. Also purchased a new key thinking the old key was faulty but still have same issue. Would love a hand please…
