Just how important is the antenna grommet? Pictures of the ugly truth.
These pictures are of my recently acquired 1990 300D 2.5Turbo. Hidden under the trunk lining below the antenna is a horrid example of what can happen if water leaks in through the grommet and the liner traps the moisture against the metal body. This cancer will require cutting out and welding in new metal, which unfortunately reached painted surfaces on the outside.
Oh and yes, I have a new grommet.
