Purpose and function of the roof antenna

The shark fin roof antenna is responsible for stable radio and system signal reception while simultaneously streamlining airflow over the bodywork. For Mercedes W207 and W212 models, installation at the factory mounting point ensures the original roof line is maintained and the antenna wiring is routed correctly.

The original antenna from the Car Antennas category ensures compatibility with the factory wiring harness and proper sealing at the point of contact with the roof panel, which reduces the risk of moisture entering the interior.

Feueropal Fire Opal Red - 590 color and visual fitment

The Feueropal Fire Opal Red - 590 finish allows for a seamless match with bodywork painted in the same shade. As a result, the component does not require additional painting, which shortens repair time and reduces costs associated with refinishing the paintwork.

In the case of post-accident repairs or replacing a damaged antenna, maintaining the original color is important for both aesthetics and the potential resale value of the vehicle. A uniform roof shade without visible color differences demonstrates a meticulous approach to repair.

Characteristics of the original Mercedes component

The original Mercedes component is designed for specific body models, which translates into a proper fit with the roof contours and correct seal adhesion. Consequently, installation is predictable, without the need for body modifications.

The product has a dedicated OEM part number (indicated in the technical specifications) and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verifying compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version. This information is particularly important when selecting an antenna for facelifted cars or those with different equipment packages.

Used condition and economic benefits

The component in used condition is a cost-effective alternative to new service parts, allowing for lower repair costs while maintaining original manufacturing quality. In practice, this means the ability to restore full functionality to the antenna system without overstretching the budget.

Selection and integration with the vehicle

Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the antenna markings with the data in the vehicle's technical specifications to confirm compatibility with the specific body and equipment version. Both the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers are helpful here, allowing you to verify whether a given antenna was used in a specific model year or variant.
