2005 SLK350 (R171)
antenna vandalized

parked my car outside a restaurant, stayed in for about 3 hour. when I pushed the unlock button about 15 feet about from the car, it didn't work. thought ran out of baterry at first, got close to my car only to find some ******* unscrewed and took away my antenna. Luckily, no scratches. now I don't get radio signal but navigation still works.

Does anyone know my much it costs to replace? since it's gone I may put some other antenna like Brabus. Any recommendations guys?

No idea how much a new one will cost. Probably $50.

An SL antenna might look better, and Brabus has a whole special fitting that adds an extra antenna piece in the bumper.

Use some crazy glue on your next antenna. You won't be able to ever take it off again, but that's kinda the point

That is a shame...I've had to unscrew my AMG tire valve covers every time I go to a movie theater around here. A lot of this stuff is done by kids with too much time on their hands and not enough fear in them.

Good luck on finding a replacement antenna.

I'm lucky I have a flat hood badge now or that would be gone, too.
