Sorry to post another topic straight after my last...

After given the car a wash today, I noticed water leaking into through the aerial socket, under the headlining and dropping out through the edges of the interior light.

The aerial is pretty loose too.

I was wondering how I'd fix this? Is there a nut that needs tightening?
If so, how would I get to it?

Thanks for any help!

Pull back headlining. Undo nut, check for any corrosion, treat if needed.
Then apply sealant and reassemble.

Is the headlining glued up?
Do I just pull on it?

Would I be able to remove the interior light if that would be easier?

I can't quite remember. It's lightly glued. I'd advise wearing gloves & sleeves as the headlining is fibreglass.

The car hasn't an MOT yet. Its going for one tomorrow.

I'll attempt it myself, but if I get stuck I'll give you a shout Shell-VT. Cheers for the offer (y)

I'll have a look now, I think I can get access by pulling the interior light out.

Can't pull the interior light out. It doesn't seem to wanna budge!
The aerial is right above it too.

I can't pull the headlining down either, because the interior light is stopping it.

Any idea how to get the light out?

*EDIT*

Found out how to do it, it was really easy to be honest.
You pull out the clear cover and there are two clips under it that you can leaver out with a knife and the surround pops off.

So now the light is out, I'm faced with this...

 


What do I do now? I haven't a clue!

Its started to rain quite heavily too, just top it all off. Sad

All sorted! Smile

I've caked the under side of the aerial base in silicon to stop water leaking in any more. Seems to have done the trick!

Forget that... Something screwy was going on - didn't see any responses after this post I replied to in my browser and didn't notice the date. After submitting the reply the whole thread was visible... Embarassed
