Who has replaced their gps antenna and fin?

My in law had hers ripped off in the car wash and I have to take a look at it later today. Plug, and play, clip on, remove headliner, What will I have to do?

Thanks.

I took mine off to have it painted to match the car, very easy since it attaches to the glass, not sure if newer ones go on the roof itself.

I went to the dealer and bought tehe foam with glue on both sides, just glue it back on. The signal travels through the glass. Just make sure that you are perfectly centered.

I went to the dealer to see the part it has a cable some 5 feet long. I'm trying to find out what is required to R and R the assembly.

Thanks I will do that. This is the broken antenna. I'd just replace the cover but the GPS is not working correctly right now, it says I'm somewhere in the pacific ocean.

Sorry for bumping an ancient thread, but I would like to know the part # for this antenna as well. Mine is intact but no longer works, and the cable coming inside the car is corroded and the insulation is flaking off. No SOS and I'm off map with no satellites on GPS.

Thanks Konigstiger! You're awesome!

I'm searching this part number on various online parts sites and most of them are saying it's for 2007 - 2009 models. Mine is a 2005, with the antenna attached to the glass not the roof. Could you verify this is the correct part number? Also, is there a particular site you would recommend me buying this from? Thanks!

This is the part # MB EPC lists for 2004 & 2005 e320 VIN, wrong! Correct # is 211820357528, image shown.
