Aeriel

[mick_993]

Has anyone replaced the roof mounted aeriel on a 255, the base gasket/rubber on mine is a little worse for wear ?

I have had 2 new gaskets fitted so far. £122.00 each time. (comes with aerial base only) :evil:

The aerial is made by Calearo in Italy.
part code TRIPLEX 7680210 AM-FM / GSM / GPS

The company don't list the gasket as a separate part, nor will they sell me one.

Have you kept the old one James?
Can they be made up from rubber gasket sheet????
Just an idea rather than paying £122

I have an old one somewhere if you need a new project.

Are you having a new aeriel or just the rubber replaced ?

Hi Mick

The complete base assembly. As mentioned here, it's not possible to purchase the seal independently. [smilie=icon_cry.gif]

 

[mick_993]

Hi Phil, looks like i'll have to bite the bullet then and buy a new one [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

Of course...

Will let all know how it goes when it's done. Roof lining is the only tricky part.

It's a good tip, but the base should ideally be tightened down onto the new rubber seal - which means accessing the securing nut underneath.

Fitted mine yesterday. Unfortunately didn't have a camera with me, otherwise would have written a guide. Top engine covers must be removed, rear and central pillar trims loosened/removed and roof lining pulled down for access. 22 mm spanner, nice and easy.

I'll try make a guide up when I get time.
