2013 roof antenna leak

blisspacket

2002 T1N, 2014 I4-7spd
We bought our unit used, and noted in the history the dealership had tried to cure a rainleak that showed up in the panelwork inside under the radio antenna. Even a slight rain brought a drip back. An essential part of my boating kit is a tupperware container with toilet bowl wax. The older the boat, the bigger the container. So yes, that's what I massaged into the seams where the antenna meets the body, and where the antenna itself screws into the mount. It should be good for ten years....

That's bee's wax correct, I would think it would melt exposed to heat?

Also had the same problem last year on my 2014, Mercedes fixed it under warranty, they found the gasket folded over on itself. No problems so far but the monsoon has started in the PNW.
