Remote entry question

07 Fleetwood Discovery owner.
Noticed range on remote keyfob not good. I inspected the receiver under the center console and discovered the black antenna wire hanging out of the receiver broken. Looks like it was cut/broke during assembly of the dash.
Can someone with like setup measure your black antenna wire too get the total inches.
Also, the actuator in door has a rubber dust boot falling apart. Is their a place where i can order parts?

Thanks

    I recently changed the battery in my 2012 truck key fob due to it getting weak. New battery and much better range.

    Did you try changing the battery in the key fob. The fob I normally use is getting weak, I have to be within 10 feet of the cab (E450 chassis) before I can unlock or lock the door. Doesn't work from the back bumper of the MH. The other 3 fobs work normally, 50-100+ feet away.

    Fleetwood dealer would be the last place I'd go.
