...............I think that my antenna is dripping a little on my '77 as
well. I'm planning to change the windshield seal and install new wiper
shafts & grommets as soon as they arrive from Aircooled.Net. At that time, I
think that I'll just loosen up that antenna mount and squeeze some
waterproof caulk (not the silicone type) into the joints on each side of
that rubber seal at the base of the antenna. After tightening it back down,
I'll wipe away whatever caulk has been squeezed out.
