Hi there, if it helps I replaced the aerial on my mk5 with a 2010 VW Polo one. It's the short stubby type, looks good and works perfectly with a great reception.

Got mine from Parts4Euro.com, OEM Sharan stubby:

Looks great, works great, fits under my roofbox.

Don't buy a cheap copy from ebay - they don't work.

I also have a polo type but that's too long to fit under my 'box.

HTH.

Be careful, the Sharan stubby worked on my 55 plate R32, but didn;t on my 07 edition 30, well it wasn't great... I have the MY10 Polo one which works great for me...

This thread reminded me that I wanted to change mine a while back but forgot.

I think I will go for the Polo aerial based on the feedback. This the right one?
