antenna seal

[KSKarl]

The rubber grommet around the antenna where it goes through the rear fender is worn out, coming apart, mostly gone. Is there a place to get a replacement? And any special tips for installing it?

I got one from Pelican Parts. It's real cheap, so I waited until I needed/wanted other stuff, too, to make it worth the cost of shipping. I don't remember anything remarkable about install.

The dealer? The nice thing about these cars is everything is available at the dealer, and the prices aren't too bad.

Tip: unbolt the antenna base and push it up through the fender- then install the grommet and then push the grommet into the fender.

I also used dishwater soap to lubricate the rubber fitting so I could position it in the whole.
Look at this post.
