I got a replacement hirschmann antenna with the car which I installed myself the other day. The old retaining nut was so stuck I rounded it off and chewed it up pretty bad getting it off. I can't find anything like it anywhere- I've checked auto parts, hardware stores, you name it.
anybody got one out there tucked away?

Go to a junkyard with some M-B's and you'll probably find a nut for your antenna. You may also find some other odds and ends your car may need. Or, try places selling and installing car stereo systems.

Good Luck!
Tom
