Please can anyone help me to source a new roof aerial gasket for my 2001 Omega, it is a rounded rectangular shaped base not the elliptical one that was fitted to the earlier cars and Lotus Carlton.
Mine is very perished and I'd like to prevent a leak into the car and headlining if possible. And before anyone suggests squirting a load of black mastic around it, that is very much a last resort, especially as it is at eye level and the rest of the car is quite tidy. Even if someone has a spare aerial base that I can use as a template to model something from for 3d printing, that might be helpful. Thanks.

eBay £2.05 + 99p postage 😁

With a little care, the black mastic look's perfectly good !

true, but a neat job is just as much work as fitting the new, £3 gasket.

Thanks, I don't suppose you've got a link, item number or can tell me what words you used to search for it? I have looked and nothing comes up.

It all depends which antenna its for.
That ebay gasket won't fit a Nav aerial base on NCDC head unit cars.

Thanks, mine is more rectangular like this item number 273673042643, but Omega is not listed under the applications so I am not certain it is the same, and mine looks to have squarer corners.

Call me tight, but for £8.49 + £6.90 postage from Poland it needs to be right, and I don't have a Zafira to put it on if it's not.

Take a picture of the Ariel :y Then peeps will be able to correctly identify which one you need.

On closer inspection it looks as though the Zafira one wih GPS is correct, what do you think? I could also do with a new stubby screw on antenna, but have substituted some shrinkwrap over the core for now.

The Zaf one looks right to me - based on the pictures and the vague recollection of what mine looked like when I took it off (to fix it)

Cheers, I'll go for it when funds allow, and if they offer me a postage discount, because there are a couple of other bits in their shop which look interesting and if anyone else wants one I am happy to share postage costs for a few more?

You need to get new cables to it since the original cables has connectors that are not standard. They come in different versions with Radio/GPS/Phone combinations. The one I got has Radio/GPS
