Hirschmann AUTA 6000 U Automatic Electric Aerial Replacement Telescopic Mast - Black Tip and Base
Restore crisp radio reception and smooth motorised operation to your classic vehicle's Hirschmann AUTA 6000 U model electric antenna with a genuine replacement telescopic mast. Over time, the telescopic sections of automatic aerials can wear out, accumulate road grime, or lose their tension, resulting in poor signal reception or an antenna that fails to extend or retract fully. External hazards like low-hanging trees, car washes, vandalism, or accidental damage can also easily bend or snap the telescope, putting unnecessary strain on your aerial's motor.
Fortunately, virtually all classic Hirschmann motorised aerials are designed with user-replaceable masts. With just a standard spanner and a few minutes of your time, you can easily remove the old, faulty telescope and feed in a brand-new one without needing to remove the main motor assembly from the vehicle cavity. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are included with each mast to guide you through the quick installation process.
This premium replacement mast features a smooth, high-flex drive cable for flawless mechanical performance. The AUTA 6000 U mast features a high-quality chrome telescope finished with the authentic classic black tip cap. This ensures a factory-correct visual look for your vintage installation, making it fully backward-compatible with original factory versions that featured black tip caps.
