sat nav aerial seal

[john norris]

does anyone know where and how much i can get one?

Have a look on eBay pretty sure the dealers don't sell aerial seals seperately you have to buy the complete base.

[john norris]

i can find standard but not the nav ones

[paulhb]

Be careful as the estate and signum ones are different due to the placement close to the tailgate no washer jet either you may have to bite the bullet if its urgent

[john norris]

its not urgent but it is on the way looks like its been bodged with silicone at some point

[paulhb]

Why not put up a wanted ad you never know if someone has one lying around

[john norris]

i was half thinking of a shark fin type but putting a front washer jet in it i dont use the sat nav took it out for aftermarket HU

[paulhb]

I have looked at shark fins too but it seems the majority aren't radio aerials. I have dab and wanted to change for the same reason as you and thought Insignia shark fin but it seems its there for the GPS and mobile phone. From what I can find the radio reception is poor from the ones claiming to be for radio as the manufacturers that put these on standard use things like the heated rear screen as aerials. I would be interested to see if you do get one and modify it for the washer jet as I would fit an after market dab aerial to mine.

bumping an old thread as i didnt want to create a duplicate.

My base seal is completely shot. I'm not sure if the VW one then everyone is talking about where you warm it up and stretch it fits the sat nav signum / estate base?

Any ideas where I can get a replacement?

Looks like you need a entire new antenna mate. The rubber around the base of the mast looks shot too from the pic.

The VW one suggested was proposed for the CD30 etc range of antennas, what radio is in your car.
