Lots of sources for MAST & BASE GASKET.

PS: Wife & I lived in Durham for 11 years before moving to SC.

 

I’ve read somewhere that the base for the roadster antenna is similar (possibly same) on many VW passenger cars. Might be worth a quick trip to the pick and pull yard.

I grabbed one at my last stop at the parts yard. Haven’t needed to install one yet.

tossed it into the parts box

 

Thank you .. found it ...

 

This past summer I purchased the Base Gasket on eBay that dedwards0323 provided the link. It fit and worked perfectly. Unlike others on the forum, I removed the antenna completely so that I could remove the entire old gasket. The old gasket on my Crossfire was not just a ring like the new gasket. It pretty much covered the whole area under the base except for the hole in the fender. The hardest part was aligning the gasket to the bottom of the base and keeping it in place until tightened down. I removed the side panel in the trunk to make it easier. That also gave me the opportunity to check the level of the top cylinder's hydraulic fluid reservoir. I used a deep well socket to remove and tighten the nut on the bottom of the antenna. I think it was a 22mm, but not sure. It took me about 45 minutes from start to finish. I didn't hurry and even waxed the fender under the base while it was off.

 

Thank you, good information .. and to all that replied ... bayukbros in RDU

 

I got my mast and base on Amazon.
