How to fix broken electric aerial ...











Ok
Another source of leak - eeek!

[Wayne2014]

More sources of leaks,
Blockages from tubes carrying water away ...



Why have this at end of tube?
With such a small opening, no wonders its easily blocked!
Shall i just bin it???



Blocked!


Better




The other side

[RattyMcClelland]

Don't bin anything. Don't block anything. Clean it all out and replace gaskets.

Those rectangular holes are vents to keep moisture from settling in the car. Make sure the parcel shelf vents are not blocked either.

Spoiler lose,
Remove for a clean and tighter fit (bolts x3)

Does that mean my 3rd brake light in spoiler does not work?!!!
