I have had the antenna on my car for about a month, and have washed it maybe 3-4 times, without issue.

The bottom piece is a flexible rubber gasket, so perhaps give the 19mm nut an extra turn to increase compression. If it's not leaking from the gasket, it must be a tiny trickle working its way down the threads, since it's being hit with a direct flow of pressured 'test' water. I can't imagine a real-world situation where this type of direct flow would hit the antenna, perhaps driving through a hurricane, but in any case the Antenna electronics are sealed, away from this area, so it's not a concern. The tiny amount of moisture which can bypass the antenna will evaporate on its own, or drain out of the water drainage hole directly below the assembly, intended for this purpose.

As we all know, the NSX trunk is not an air-tight chamber, and even the factory antenna is surrounded by drainage tubes and drip collectors, since it also experiences a slight degree of leakage. None of these components are water tight, they're intended more to guide the general direction of water towards the drainage hole.

[QUOTE="scorp965, post: 1587852, member: 14015"] I have had the antenna on my car for about a month, and have washed it maybe 3-4 times, without issue.

I can't imagine a real-world situation where this type of direct flow would hit the antenna, perhaps driving through a hurricane, but in any case the Antenna electronics are sealed, away from this area, so it's not a concern.
