Yeah, I learnt my lesson when it comes to underground parking! 6.4" is too low for this truck!
Fortunately, I wasn't going fast when I hit a ceiling pipe but it did damage the shark fin. Fortunately, the antenna didn't broke off and it is still working correctly.
I went to the dealership and they said they will try to put on a new antenna to redo the seal and maybe it won't need a body job after all. During my appointment, they phoned me and told me they weren't able to do the repair and get a proper seal so they recommended me to go to a body shop to fix the roof first then put on a new antenna.
In the meantime, it did a caulking job around the antenna to prevent water from creeping in. Also, if I get it repaired, well, caulking is easy to remove if needed. This is why I didn't not want to use glue or a weatherstrip adhesive.
Anyone use caulking to do that sort of repair before? How long the caulking job last?
