'98 SLK FM antenna
Does anyone know what options I have for replacing the FM radio antenna on a 98 model SLK?
The stock antenna picks up a pretty shocking signal.
Cheers

There is a kit available for mounting an external antenna on the left rear quarter panel. M-B received many complaints from owners about radio reception so they designed the kit to mount a mast antenna. All US-spec cars have had the mast antenna since late in 1997 and the kit was available as a free "upgrade" for older SLKs still under warranty. I have seen a few non-US cars with the kit installed, but I doubt it was free.
