D22 Aerial Grommet Falling Apart!!!!!!!!!!!!

[s14 panda]

Anyone else aerial grommet that sits on top of the cowl [panel started to break down and fall apart? Can you buy that grommet separately or do you have to buy the whole aerial?

Was about to post the same question. mine is shagged as wellm

Mine too. Haven't looked for a replacement yet, i fear a trip to Nissan as the only place to get it.

Someone mentioned a trip to clarke rubber was a much cheaper option.

 

[Rumpig]

I think they were talking about the rubber strip between the wheel flare and guard, not this.

rumpig is on the money!!

Email/ring some wreckers, anything of a similar age will probably be in a similar condition but you might luck it for a good one.

Otherwise fashioning one will be cheaper than buying one because they are probably part of the aerial not a separate part, atleast they used to be in older Nissan's that looked similar.

Yeah thats it, the one in the photo!!!!!!!!! My Navs only 08, was thinking of going back to the dealer and having a fat whinge, what a piece of crap!!!!!!!!

Anyone own a 3D printer?

Could put Nissan out of business with one of those.

Could try some armor all on it if its not to bad, its just the sun breaking down plastics, can't be avoided.

A bit of Black Sikaflex will replace that no worries

Just go to Nissan and buy one, they are only a couple of dollars, I have replaced mine

^Is that for the whole antenna assembly?

A ****ing bird flew into mine the other day, i had to bend it up again (in other words, finnish snapping it off) just so i could open the door to get out.

Also the rubber is looking a bit ratty too, but not that bad for 8-9 years of UV exposure.

Ok, thanks, i might just fix it bushman style then, cut a segment off and jam it back in or something. less hassle.
