How to Replace the Rubber Seal at the Base of the Antenna on the Opel Astra G

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antenna

This video demonstrates how to replace the rubber seal at the base of the antenna on the Opel Astra G. This seal can deteriorate over time, allowing water to seep through and stain the vehicle's interior. You can easily find this seal, for example, on eBay with the code 125906117893, where you can get two for £4.26. Unfortunately, shipping costs £8.20 as they must come from the UK. If you're not in a hurry, AliExpress can send you one for £1.04 plus £0.60 shipping, with the code 1005003912188902; however, delivery may take up to 90 days. Removing the damaged seal is easy; just pull it off, even in pieces with tweezers, taking care not to scratch the paint. Clean the area around the antenna thoroughly before inserting the new seal, which should be gently pressed in and then firmly pushed until it is fully seated under the antenna base. Ensure there are no gaps between the rubber and the bodywork.
