Radio Aerial Leak?

morrismen · Aug 30th, 2020, 20:03

V40 has a small water pool appear on the luggage cover overnight.

If it is leaking under the radio aerial mast connector towards the back of the estate roof as suspected, can anyone advise how the aerial unit can come out to get it resealed? Does the roof aerial assembly fitting pop out?

Thanks.

Buy a new seal off ebay. Pull the old perished seal out from under the aerial and stretch the new one in under the base . No need to disturb the aerial base and a quick 15 min job.

I had a cracked seal which eventually split and fell off. I replaced the seal using a Seal from a mark3/mark 4 VW bought on eBay for £2.49 for two. Fits perfectly.
