   had this problem for a week or two now, thought i'd fixed it by tightening the nut on the ariel base but no such luck. and i have searched and read the topic on how to fix it(http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...ior+light+leak), but.... i dont fully understand, a couple of questions:
   
   could someone show me what type of silicoln sealer would be best for fixing this problem? (link to halfords website would be ideal)
   
   and also where abouts on the ariel base to apply it??
   
   thanks in advance.

   Something like this is fine:

   Just unbolt the aerial and pull away from the roof.
   
   Put a bead of silicone around the hole and push the aerial back down and tighten the nut.
   
   Ensure you wipe away the excess silicone.
