Water leak?

[AhmedRSi]

Noticed a bit of water/dampness in the interior light/sunroof control panel with the recent wet weather.

Car is a mk2ph1 and I have an electric sunroof. I'm hoping theres a quick and easy fix?

Silicone it up?

I'm not sure exactly where the leak is coming from/due to though?

Remove roof lining, have a look. Sit in the car, get someone to hose it.

Could be where the aerial is.

I've had a look at the base of the aerial and it appears to be cracked, letting some water in.

Anyone know how to remove the aerial on a mk2ph1?

Not 100% sure on this, but if you remove the interior light housing inside the car, you should see a bolt directly below the aerial. Undo that and it should come off.

Fixed

Removed the aerial and cleared off what appeared to be some sealent (poorly done).

Used black silicone sealent to reseal everything (think its now airtight not only water-tight lol!) and cleaned off the excess as it dried.
