Antenna Gasket

[kwayocu]

hey all,

I am not sure if this is the correct spot to post this, however i have a 96 Ti California top, the gasket around the base of my antenna has finally deteriorated over the winter. Does anyone have one they can send out to me? Or know the part number? Thanks for your help.

Oh also now both my windows have decided to come off track. greaT

The gasket is part 4 here.



Order from your favorite online source, or get from your dealer's parts counter. You'll want some dishsoap (or similar lubricant) to get it in place- it's a tight fit.

trunk was filling up with water underneath the antenna.

When I replaced mine I used some liquid soap to position it correctly.

Instal was easy....

make sure you use a small amount of soap - it works great as a lubricant on your shaft

push down on shaft, use nut against floor, and push straight down. It will slide in to the correct position with just a little effort.
