Thanks! A bit more difficult to get to the antenna from the inside of my Sandero Stepway but the problem and solution is the same :) Nice too see you fix yours before attempting it myself.
@@mervtaylor Hi Merv. Just thought I'd let you know that I have just done the job, following your video. Took me 40 minutes from start to finish. I found that the aerial was slightly loose and the water was seeping in under the aerial block. I sealed it with clear GP silicone as you showed, plus I put a generous amount around the holes on the outside of the roof and a fine bead around the underside of the aerial block. On re-assembly, I opted to put a shake-proof washer under that 8mm nut. Thank you once again for your extremely useful and practical video. I have now hit the "subscribe" button!
never had this problem until i tried to remove the stupidly long ariel which i had to use mole grips to unscrew the blutty thing..then using copper ease put a shorter Ariel on two days later dripping through microphone grill..a bit of black silicone sealant sorted every thing out 👍
Been a major thunder storm today. Got in the car only to find water dripping from the exact same spot...quick call to Halfords was called for. Thanks for the help Mervyn. . Btw need to treat rust under the side skirts, any pointers would be great. Atb Derek
Hi, thanks for the video. Though surely just putting a ring of sealant on the outside roof under that black aerial housing would do the same thing. As you say, you don't want to put it around the edge of that black housing as it would make it stand proud, so a full ring of sealant a couple of mm within the area of the housing base should seal it. That is presuming the water is seeping in around the base, and not down the aerial pole somehow!? It ideally should have had s rubber base seal. Yes that foil on the inside will be the earth for the aerial and you will mess up the reception if you mess with that. 👍
Thanks a bunch, I've actually taken my duster to the automatic washer a few times and the antenna isn't a fan of this of course. But the big problem came after I transported a big door on my rails and the antenna had to be bent underneath and when going over 80 km/h it was wiggled a lot and I started to get the leaks. Mine is from 2015 do we'll see what difference it is. I am a bit worried about corrosion though.
I wouldn't have thought the 2015 would be any different. Regarding corrosion, mine is a 2013 Indian assembled vehicle that were the worst. Dacia took my car away and gave it a full anti corrosion treatment as part of a recall programme. There is not much to worry about underneath, the chassis do not seem to to suffer but it is worth pulling pack your door rubbers as there is a tendancy for surface rust to form from the steel in the rubber itself. Also thoroughly check the rear tailgate around the pull. That is the main areas and probably will be just surface rust if any. It is worth removing your side steps at some point as some reports of corrosion have been identified there. Good luck with the antenna and thank you for your feedback.
@@mervtaylor Wow thanks for all the possible places to look for corrosion! I will do. Maybe you have an idea on where to look for my other problem. It's the license plate lighting, I thought the bulbs was just dead but it seems like the power harness or what's it called is off somewhere. I haven't taken a closer look to where it is yet. Thanks in advance.
I'm glad there are those who like to show the work they do in solving problems that many others have.... Thank you by the way did you check it to see if was lose? Or if just a little adjustment in tightening?
@@mervtaylor yes yes I understand that. I was asking if you could felt it lose before meaning holding antena and if the nut shakes or the antenna rotated somewhere.... My logan is from 2016 and have this issue. My wife have a duster from 2011 and nothing 😊
@@mervtaylor yes exactly that litle lose on the base I just tried mine minutes ago and managed to squeeze 1/4 clockwise 👍 let me see what happens.once again appreciation for you video
@@mervtaylor hello Mervyn and thanks i noticed wates in the container by the hand brake it was full we have had a week of rain. Tomorrow I will have a go at it , thank you.
Thankyou for showing. I have the same issue with my 63 plate Duster (85K miles) Now I know how to take it apart. Much appreciated. As an aside my Prop shaft central bearing is wearing (rubber bit) Has anyone else had theirs go at similar mileage? Regards Stephen
Thank you for doing this video. I have this exact problem with my Lodgy, so it’s a relief to now know how to fix it 👍
Glad it has helped.

Thanks for the video. I noticed the same problem with my Logan MCV this afternoon. At least I know how to fix now.
Very useful video, thank you! We got our used Duster 7 weeks ago and this problem cropped up yesterday.
I'm pleased you found it usefull

All I can tell you is mine has not leaked again since doing it and also gave me the opportunity to check for any potential rust under the shroud.
hi mervyn any idea how to remove the black plastic trim that covers the door sills just picked up a 4x4 2014.want to inspect the outer sills.
Thanks, mine leaked this morning for first time.
Hi Mervyn!
You dont by any chance have the sparepartnumber for that roofconsole/overhead compartment?
Cheers from Sweden!
Sorry, I can't help with that.

Thanks that’s informative though I don’t have Dacia my have Renault which are similer
Was the specker damage?? Or did you have any problems with it
Speaker was not damaged and still works perfectly fine.

I know of a few that have been replaced, looks like you have to replace the whole Propshaft.
Apparently not. Just the bearing / housing carrier which is about £35-40@@mervtaylor
NO WAY! Is it 7 seater Duster?! Where are you from?
Имия Фамилья Not a 7 seater, must be the camera view. UK based.
