SL Antenna:
15 ft less than R170 antenna. Radio reception a worse than r170 antenna. Only 2.5 inches long and color coded with car. Much nicer IMHO... | Yup. Word of caution: Do not touch the central silver hollow attachment point in the SL antenna when disassembling. I must have misaligned that piece when I was testing and broke it when I reattached the SL antenna  this after all the testing. Now I have to call MB parts department on Monday. I hope they have a dented one that they want to throw away as I only want the inner/central piece.
