General Aerial clip

[AndyD115]

I have a 2011 Fiat Ducato Motorhome and looking for a replacement part.
The radio antenna is held onto the A pillar in a black plastic clip about half way up the length and this has broken.
Obviously the aerial/radio still work but the antenna is prone to popping out when driving and flapping against the side window!
Are these available to buy?

What kind of motorhome is that? Make? Model?

Can you please post a photo? In my commercial body (cab) van the antennae is on the roof

It's not a FIAT original part. It's not listed in ePER. Or at least I couldn't find it.

I'd contact Buerstner or a MH dealer to ask.

It's not a complicated part. You could check on the internet if it's not available as a 3d print. Or find a drawing, for example on thingverse.

However the plastic should be temperature and UV resistant.

Hi

As a last resort, drill a small hole in the remains of the lug and tie the aerial rod into it with a black cable tie

Speaking as a retired antenna designer, I can tell you that having the rod running closely parallel to a metal A-pillar makes that part of the rod particularly ineffective as an antenna. The only useful bit is any part that protrudes above the pillar !

I'd go for the multifunction antenna in the mirror that goes into the mirror:

Or this one:
