Peugeot 206: a water leak inside the car due to the antenna

Part: Antenna

In this video, the YouTuber notices a water leak inside the car. Rainwater enters from the base of the antenna on the roof, causing dampness in the upholstery, wet interiors, or drops near the interior light. For the repair, which can be done easily by yourself: remove the antenna from the roof, then inspect the rubber seal at the base; reseal the base with an appropriate sealant (e.g., body silicone) and finally reinstall the antenna.
