Any help on this please?!

Symptoms:
-wet floor
-wet patch

What there is NOT
-a break in any seal (door/windscreen/sunroof)
-a hole in the roof at all

Also, when i turn right, the water come's out of the IR receiver and attacks me!!

Here's a piccy!




how do i take the pillar out, just pull as usual?

also got a video of me getting angry as i got a drip slapped on my face!

Could well be the drain holes in the corner of the sunroof.. my old saxo used to do.. net curtain wire down the hole and a water squirter thingy lol

airel???

Do what sorry?? Put more water down there?? Or you sayi it's blocked?

And nope, Aries is tight

it will be the aerial mate my old phase 1 used to do it pop ir reciever off and use some selant on it

Hm this would be a good idea if shitty Connor didn't tell me to superglue it down!!!!!!!!!'

sikaflex the aerial from underneath?

Wait, its suerglued on?

It'll the aerial most likely mate

Alrighty then - i'll try and get it off - the underside (IR receiver) is superglued, as apparently thats how the WEST role

Definitely ariel

You dont need to take the ir receiver out? just pop the light out and remove the two screws

And if it isn't, it's not my car so not my problem :mrgreen:

But a new aerial base. There less than a tender and the rubber on the bottom wouldn't of dried up and stopped sealing...job done!

Have a load of silicone sealent in the shed - i'll reseal it on the outside and inside, small amount of clear sealent will do the jobby!

Dont seal it on the outside it will look s*** just seal it well from the inside

not even e tooth pick amount?!

but ok..

Nope not even a lil tiny bit. If u seal it well from the inside it will stop it

If you use a little bit of silicone on the outside then it won't spread out of the base and you won't even see it, if you seal from the inside you won't stop the water getting in, just stop it from getting further than the silicone, but the water will cause it to rust from around the hole

Don't be so pikey and buy a new base from eBay for £6!

weld the fucker up, who needs a radio anyway?

I removed my mine. Smoothed roof. And still I have wet where you do. But no more as its sunroof drain pipe in that corner.

Why do I seem to agree with Connor again

He's right though, just sealing it from inside is a silly idea, I bet its not coming from there though sealing it properly can't do any harm IMO

If you unbolt the aerial and run some sealent around the base then yes. You may aswell fit a new base then tho. but personaly i wouldnt just seal around the out side of it as it will look gash :/ as said above aswell check sunroof drainage as could also be this

By "seal outside" I don't mean to just run a bead of silicone around the outer edge of the aerial base like you seem to be implying as already said by Connor, if you remove the base and put a bead of silicone underneath and refit you won't see it so it can't look "gash" really can it.............it will look the same as before, just won't let water in anymore if done right

Have you cleared the drain pipes....all of my cars have always done this, and its ALWAYS the drain pipes that cause it....

The sunroof is MEANT to leak, thats what the drain pipes are for, soon as they block it overflows and fills the center console in the roof up. Just shove a hose down them and you shud clear it / should piss out in the rear wings...

From the impresion i got the op was going to seal around the outside hence why i said not to :/

^^ this, stiff wire is also good for clearing them if you don't fancy using a hose to clear them
