its fixed now.

the sica flex worked a treat. buit i also get a leak through the aerial.

put have to have some force from the hose. i doubt rain could do it as i have to squirt the hose upawrds.

For those of you that are getting leaks, is it mostly happening in sedans? Just curious. Also any particular years?

yeah silcone seems to work a treat. I found the black stuff works better than the clear stuff.

This gives a good run down on these common problems with the ek hatch!

Just fixed mine and it works a treat.
