URO Parts 210 827 0031KIT Roof Antenna Kit (Antenna Tip & Gasket Only)

Bottom gasket fits great. The antenna tip rubber it a bit tight going throughout the factory hole, but I used a little patience and some soap to help lube the process. (Make sure everything is wiped dry before installing the cover.) I didn't drill the hole larger as some Reviewers have mentioned. Just be careful and take your time installing. I installed the antenna tip from the bottom of the cover up. There's a small o-ring for the screw that holds the cover to the roof (not in this kit) so be careful not to loose it when you take the metric hex head screw out. Easy fix, great product and looks great when it's done.

Took 5 mines to install. The antenna part was the hardest part just push it in and twist it and pull up the other end because it is made of some sort of rubber it will go through. Just pull and twist slowly until all 4 rings at the bottom come through. Thanks URO. My car looks much better. This is my first buy from you guys and it want be my last. Fit perfect for a 2002 E320 Mercedes

This kit is a super easy install if you have a deteriorated antenna on an older style Mercedes E class vehicle, but after a very short amount of time the rubber used starts to crack and break down from exposure to the sun and the elements. Obviously this is not a good thing because cars are outside because you drive them. Save time and money by actually buying the OEM part from Mercedes-Benz.

URO makes some half ass water pumps and other generic gear for the Mercedes. They managed to hit the mark with this part. It came in a sealed bag to keep the dust out on it's overseas journey. Take a 2.5mm hex head bit without the driver and use the pressure from your index finger and thumb alone to remove the retaining bolt from the painted plastic part (not included). At this point the screw is removed and you want to make sure to CAPTURE THE TINY O RING on the screw. I thought that the unit would come off at this point but you will have years of car wax and road grime that worked it's way into the base seal. Wiggle the unit side to side and front to back a little. Remember the antenna is fragile so try not to force it. I wiggled mine for a few seconds and it finally gave way. Pull up and back towards the hatch or trunk and clean the stain left on the pain from the original base seal. My seal looked good at a glance but under bright light I noticed that the Al Gore plastic was starting to crack as well. Clean the bottom rim and antenna hole from the antenna cover. Discard the old antenna cover and base. Push base of the antenna cover thru the painted side of the opening on the antenna cover. You will fold it slightly as it pushed into the unit. The lower seal is tapered out so follow the pattern your old seal had. You will have to hold the base seal in place as you gently place the cover back on making sure that the antenna is inserted into the cover. When you are done with this and it is lined up, USE ONLY YOUR INDEX FINGER AND THUMB WITH THE HEX BIT TO TIGHTEN THE COVER ONTO THE VEHICLE. Feels like about 10 lbs of pressure. Don't strip it or you will be stuck buying the 150.00 dollar unit from Mercedes. The only way to get the OEM seals. I'm an OEM junkie but buying a whole kit for something that failed due to environmentally friendly plastics is horse hockey. I was happy to see that this part from URO was perfect for a seal replacement. I wont put URO anything on my car. This was a one time thing. Good luck!

This is an excellent product and a great saving over the $190 the dealer wants for the entire assembly. Buyer beware: I gave this product 4 stars because the package should have contained a warning to lubricate or warm the rubber antenna cover before pulling it through the hole. I soaked the rubber piece in hot water for 2 minutes and was able to pull the gasket into place without difficulty.

This item was the perfect solution to my broken antenna. Notes on installing the "Rubber Ducky": First I cleaned the round opening of any remaining residue from the original rubber. Then I placed the "rubber ducky" portion in hot water for a few minutes which makes it softer and more pliable. While inserting, I pushed up from the bottom while pulling and twisting from the top. With such a tight fit, I know it will not leak and can not be pulled out. The bottom gasket was also a perfect fit and replaced the old one which was starting to crumble. I highly recommend this product.

I have to give this 3 stars because it is a little misleading in its description. I was looking for the actually "Antenna Tip", the antenna itself. This is NOT! When the say antenna kit it is just the rubber boot (what they call the antenna tip) and Gasket, its just the rubber boot that goes over the actual Antenna tip. I know confusing. If your looking for the Antenna itself this is NOT it! but it is a great product which you will also need when replacing your antenna. This is just the rubber gasket and rubber boot (tip), This is NOT an "Antenna Kit".

Perfect fit for 2000 E320 4 Matic. A note to owners who have the Mercedes cell phone installed in their cars, the antenna required is different from the one included. The one included in the kit will work but you will have to take off the cellular module for the car phone to do so. (not to bad since the stock phones do not work anymore) I realized this after I bought the kit but the included rubber seal is a perfect fit and definitely is a quick fix to enhance the look of the car.

Mercedes wanted £175 for the antenna unit and gasket,I only wanted the gasket and rubber top.Product fits perfectly so I bought another for a spare many thanks.

Der Austausch der Teile erfolgte problemlos in wenigen Minuten Das muss man angesichts des "Apothekerpreises" aber auch erwarten dürfen! Der Materialwert/Produktionskosten beträgt m,E. maximal 0,50 €. Schade, dass hier ein Monopol so schamlos ausgenutzt wird. Aber was soll's. Es passt super genau. TIPP: .Gummitülle vor dem Durchziehen durch die Kappe (von innen) mit Silikonspray gleitfähig machen - da wird das Risiko des Abreißens gemindert. Trotzdem vorsichtig stückweise durch Hin-und Herbewegung durchziehen.

I recommend this for sure. Fit & alignment of the product is perfect

Preiswerte Alternative zum Gesamtpaket von Mercedes, wenn nur die Gummihülle der Antenne defekt ist.Die Teile sind sehr passgenau und leicht einzubauen.

Der Reparatursatz ist passgenau und sehr leicht zu montieren. Zur Haltbarkeit der Gummizelle (Weichmacher) kann ich noch nichts sagen. Lieferung ging schnell.
