Reproduction Hirschmann Red Tip Manual Antenna
Restore the authentic appearance and radio performance of
your classic Porsche with this OE Match reproduction Hirschmann Red Tip Manual Antenna. This antenna faithfully
reproduces the distinctive Hirschmann design that became synonymous with many
period-correct Porsche vehicles.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 1950-55
- Porsche 356A 1955-59
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
Featuring the iconic red tip and manually extendable telescopic mast, this antenna not only enhances the originality of your vehicle but also provides reliable AM and FM radio reception. It is the ideal finishing touch for concours restorations, period-correct refurbishments and owners wishing to retain the authentic character of their classic Porsche.
Manufactured to OE Match standards, this manual antenna delivers excellent fit, quality and appearance while maintaining the traditional operation expected from the original Hirschmann unit.
What Does the Manual Antenna Do?
The manual antenna receives radio signals and transmits them to the vehicle's radio receiver, allowing clear reception of AM and FM broadcasts. The telescopic mast can be manually extended for optimum signal strength or retracted when not in use to help protect it from accidental damage.
Beyond its practical purpose, the Hirschmann antenna is also an important visual detail on early Porsche models, contributing to the authentic factory appearance that collectors and enthusiasts value.
Why Do Manual Antennas Fail?
After decades of exposure to the elements, manual antennas naturally suffer from wear and deterioration.
Common causes of failure include:
- Corrosion of the telescopic mast
- Dirt and oxidation causing the mast to stick or seize
- Bent mast sections from accidental impact
- Worn or damaged internal extension mechanism
- Perished mounting seals allowing water ingress
- Corrosion of the antenna base or electrical connections
As corrosion develops, the antenna may become difficult to extend or retract, while damaged mast sections can significantly reduce radio reception. Water entering through deteriorated seals can also lead to corrosion within the wing and surrounding bodywork.
When Should the Manual Antenna Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever the antenna no longer operates smoothly or can no longer provide reliable radio reception.
Typical signs include:
- Poor or intermittent radio reception
- Bent or damaged telescopic mast
- Mast that sticks or will not fully extend
- Corrosion or pitting on the chrome sections
- Damaged or missing red tip
- Water leaks around the antenna mounting
- During concours restorations or bodywork refurbishment
Replacing the antenna restores both functionality and the period-correct appearance of the vehicle while helping to protect the bodywork from water ingress.
Porsche 356 Exterior Trim & Electrical Components
Attention to detail is what distinguishes an exceptional Porsche restoration, and exterior accessories such as the reproduction Hirschmann antenna play an important role in maintaining factory authenticity. While modern antennas may offer convenience, nothing matches the appearance and operation of the classic manually operated red tip aerial fitted to many early Porsche models.
Replacing a damaged or worn antenna not only improves radio reception but also restores one of the subtle styling features that defines the character of the Porsche 356.
Whether completing a concours restoration or simply replacing an ageing original component, an OE Match Hirschmann-style antenna provides the correct look and dependable performance expected from a premium restoration part.
Benefits of Replacing the Manual Antenna
- Restores clear radio reception
- Returns smooth manual extension and retraction
- Enhances the original factory appearance
- Reduces the risk of water ingress around the mounting point
- Complements concours-quality restorations
- Manufactured for accurate fit and long service life
- Faithfully reproduces the iconic Hirschmann red tip design

What Does a Porsche Antenna Do?
An antenna captures and transmits electromagnetic signals for entertainment, communication, and navigation systems within your Porsche.
