Does anyone out there know if a new reproduction antennae-to-body rubber seal is available, and where? I have the original antennae still mounted to my '70 Coupe and the seal is slowly falling apart. The antennae itself is in decent shape and rather than buying some repro junk antennae kit, I'd like to just replace the seal. Thanks for any help, as I figure someone out there has already been through this and can point the way for the rest of us.

If all else fails you might try making do with one of the oval rubber seals used between the bumper blade and the overrider: it's a little smaller and doesn't have the wraparound lip like the original antenna base seal, but it's made of a very stretchable rubber and if you have experience wrestling the headlight ring seals into place you could probably get this to work.

I might have a good used one, Bill, that I would gift you if you want it. Let me check.

Hell, that would be awesome! I just want to find something a bit nicer than what I've got left in the photos of my Ghia.

Thanks buddy! And if that seal has been reproduced (hard to believe that there aren't a bunch of us who need 'em) that would be cool too.
