I’m swapping my mk4 caddy mirrors for Touran ones and I’m looking for a replacement aerial.
Any recommendations?

Plenty on eBay mate, I got one for £7 that sticks to the edge of the windscreen and it's not bad.

I’ve fitted the touran mirrors but there’s no way I can get the plugs for the aerials through the hole on the mirror so need to find an alternative

Just get a stick on one for the windscreen, then you don't need to drill a hole in the roof.

Update on mine, as the eBay dab aerial was a pile of mince and quit working after a few weeks, I tried the only plug from the original stereo in the dab socket (which had no dab radio until I fitted the RCD510) and low and behold, it works perfectly! The previously crap FM signal on the old radio must have been due to the fact the only factory antenna on the van was in fact the dab one in the driver's mirror and the fm cables to the passenger mirror had been stripped out.
