Title: Mk2 16v Ariel seal/ rubber
Post by: Jedgar on June 19, 2020, 03:53:36 PM
Can any one point me in the direction of where I can buy the sealing rubber that sits on top of the roof below the Ariel that stops water getting into the car. Heritage say I need to buy an Ariel as it comes with the ariel. Surely someone sells the rubber seal separately.

Pretty sure it’s basically the same aerial used up to mk4 and I’m certain I found the rubber seal sold on its own on eBay when I was looking for my mk4, but never got round to buying one and no longer have that car.

Thanks for the info, believe it or not i’ve Got a mk4 R32, that I bought the same rubber seal for about 3 : years ago. I was actually thinking to have a look  at it to see if it would fit the  mk2 if so Vw probably still sell it.

I bought two cheapies off ebay to use one on my vr6; when they arrived and fitted one it was longer than the aerial base and i had to get correct one from the dealers.

Fingers crossed yours are better!

Thanks for the reply, worst comes to worst then i’ll Get the correct ones from the dealer. If e-bay ones don’t fit it’s only £3 down the drain.
