Aerial rubber bung

Post by Alan_M »

Just wondering if anyone has a spare rubber bung that goes in top of aerial mounting, or suggestions of alternative - water is seeping in along the screw thread into the nice new headlining I’ve just fitted.

Could be tricky finding a bung the right size, maybe a blob of black silicone smoothed level?

Used Black sealant nozzle, filled with set sealant. Pull the hardened sealant out of the tube and you have a tapered plug to be cut to size.

The silicone plug made from the hardened leftover in a nozzle sounds a good possibility. I will give it a try.
