    I did idly look and there are vertical mount aerials not with springs on eBay for VW.

    I wasn't very impressed with the one I bought from C+C, it doesn't fully retract so you've got 8 inches sticking out, not brilliant if you use a van cover!.

    When my little rubber helical spring aerial fell off, I drilled a hole in the stump and epoxied in the bent back end of one of those stainless steel strips used to stiffen a windscreen wiper blade. The top end I bent into a circle to make it less pointy.
    Its a bit floppy but you can put a cover on it, and if it gets too damaged there are always more windscreen wiper blades.

  5. I can buy a aerial without a spring easy enough, just trying to find one with a spring as I use a cover and it should stop some idiots trying to bend/ snap it

    Have you tried looking at vespa/Lambretta aerials a mate of mine has spring aerials on his bike.

    I don't know why I even have an aerial, the radio works on one stuck on the windscreen.
