Roadster Antenna base gasket ???
Re: Roadster Antenna base gasket ???
I purchased an antenna gasket from X8R and it works great. You do not have to remove your antenna to replace the gasket. Another member used ths same gasket; however, he used silicone around the base before installing the gasket. You do not need the silicone to seal the gasket. The company that sells the product has a video on the replacement procedures and they do not use silicone or any other sealer. The important thing is to remove the old gasket and try to get as much gasket material from under the base as possible. Warm the seal before applying and you get a secure seal without using a gasket sealer.

Yes! The gasket number is X8R-0064 I purchased the gasket on Ebay and it cost less money because I did not have to pay the shipping charge from England.

Re: Roadster Antenna base gasket ???
Looks like that is just the base. Not the whip. Do you have another eBay link so I don't get the wrong thing. Also if the antenna is shorter is my reception worse? I live in a fringe area and need all the help I can get.
EDIT I found a 16 inch mast and a separate gasket. Ordered 2 of each and total was less than $6. Hopefully these work but the investment was low.

Talk about timing...I just noticed my antenna was cracked throughout the base this past Friday (before the deluge). I was able to purchase the last one from this eBay listing. It sure looks right...time will tell upon arrival. It won't get here before I leave on vacation, but I'll add it to the things to do on my return. Thanks for all that you do for this Forum, George.

I also I like it when I get a link to follow so I am confident that I am looking at the same thing as the poster.
