I have finally found a source for the fully retractable antennas for the
Vanagon.  Actually these antennas are German and the exact same ones you
would get if you bought it from the dealer.  Dealer price is $53 on these
antennas, but I have them for $35.  They come with a small key that allows
you to push the antenna all the way down so there is no way that someone
could break it, or even pull it up.  Then you use the small key to pull it up
until you can grab it and extend it the rest of the way.  You can call in
your order if you are interested or just order it through the web store.  The
part number is 251035503R.

Thanks,
