Leak from interior light surround

[Timmsy]

Probably coming through from the aerial, well im pretty positive its coming through from there.

Question is... whats the best way to tackle this?

Roof lining off, light surround off and some sealant on the inside of the aerial base?

Would it be a good idea to upgrade the arial base at the same time to a better/more common size and new outer seal?

Most likely your sunroof

I have the same problem and I had to take the lining off, remove the sunroof and run sylicone around the sunroof 'hole' and then replace the sunroof tightly, keeps it seald and hides the silicone ッ! Or if your looking for a quick easy fix run silicone around the edges of the sunroof from the outside (black trim and metal roof)

Most likely your sunroof

Dont have a sunroof

 

[Kennyneil95]

Hmmm it could well be your ariel then :O first leaky Clio I've heard of that it is not the sunroof :O! I'd try loosen the arial and pop a small amount of silicone under it

 

[Timmsy]

So im guessing the roof lining doesnt have to come off? just the light surround?

 

[Kennyneil95]

If you can gain access to the Ariel then yes ッ depends on how big your hands are

I'd say its the aerial base, terrible on Clios.

Ok.. so will take a look at the weekend when its not raining hopefully

does anyone think the ph2 aerial base will look w**k at the front of the ph1 or not?

 

[AlexW]

Don't think a ph2 one will fit.

Remove interior light surround etc, Unscrew the aerial, and seal up the outside, just a small bit of silicone around the thread if you catch my drift. Tiny amount though, don't over do it!

Cheers AlexW

Ive got some marine grade silicone that i used for buildign a fish tank so that'll probably do the job nicely

 

[Kennyneil95]

Good luck, let us know how you get on with it

 

[Timmsy]
