    Anyone know where I can get a new seal for the base of my aerial please?
    Single fixing point on the bulge below the windscreen. Original I assume.
    The seal has completely perished and will begin to allow water in behind the dash I guess.
    The aerial itself is fine, so would prefer not to have to buy a complete unit as this will no doubt mean taking out the dash.
    Not having much luck browsing the usual suspects: VWH, C&C, JK, Schofields, Coolair etc, but it could be I'm not looking in the right place.
    Can't believe I'd be the only person in the world who wants one!

    I could do with one too - don;t think they are a uniform thickness, so wouldn't be easy to make one yourself.

    Mines going to come off in very small disintegrated pieces as soon as I try to remove it I think.
    I could just cover it with black mastic / silicone stuff - but it seems a shame to bodge it if there is a part available.
    I can't believe that no-one sells 'em.

    I do get your drift but I’m sure you could make it look nice IF you can’t get one .

    I
    Don`t think you`ll get just the mount , I think you`d be better off trying to get a new replacement arial to fit the hole to be honest ??

    Shouldn`t be too difficult to fit but you might have to take out the dash pod ...

    Good luck :thumbsup:

    :hattip:

    Yeah, I think you're right. Just can't face fiddling around behind the dash, it's a dark world in there that eats the skin off unsuspecting hands!
    Hey ho. These things are sent etc etc :rolleyes:

    Fair enough, that's the type of information I'm happy to hear... well, the bit about not needing to take the dash out! Shame they don't make a replacement gasket seal on it's own, but hey ho. New aerial it is (at some point!)

    I'm about to change my aerial for a NOS Bosch one. You can have my old one for bits if you want, it's only a cheapy one but your welcome to it.

    Thank you, that’s very kind. Is it a single anchor point one that would fit straight into the hole? As I said, my actual aerial is fine, it’s just the seal has disintegrated- so if yours has a seal that would be great. Are you coming up to techenders?

    Yep single point high angle thing on the belt line.
    Not coming to Tech enders, but your not a million miles from me, in fact I went past Fordingbridge today and very probably tomorrow too although that won't be any good as the aerials still fitted. I can always leave it on your doorstep.

    Thank you Paul, if not I’m sure I can find an excuse to drive out to you .... not a million miles as you say. Let me know when it’s removed and we can sort something out. Thank you

    My aerial sheared off at the base as I left it connected under the cover. I have bought a total replacement. If When I fit it I can get the sheared thread out if the old one you are welcome to it. Likewise If I can dk that I will just sdrew in the new aerial and you are welcome to the new one. It is a Just Kampers one which looks like more plastic than yours but should fit ok.

    Ah that’s very kind thank you. If it doesn’t work out with @paneuropaul replacing his, that would be great.

    I have today fitted my NOS Bosch aerial, my old one is yours. I suspect the best thing to do is give it to Doug @Baysearcher to add to the ever growing pile of bits he is taking to techenders for various people.
    How does this suit?
