Boot for rooftop antenna

Repainting without adequate drying time will cause this. Make sure paint is dry. Use 180 grit sandpaper in swirling pattern to sand down the problem areas, idea is to feather edge the paint so you don't feel and ridges between the transition layers when you sweep your hand over them. Then prime the bare metal, then repaint entire door for best results.

if its a front wheel drive it sounds like your c.v. joints are bad. probably have a cracked boot cover and dirt got in there and grease dried out and joint is bad.

This antenna is usually the input for GPS. The replacement would be a dealer only item.

Normally this model fixed the power antenna at rear boot, If you want to replace,remove the boot cover board.

you might have a drain line plugged up...or a dirty evap coil...call if you need direction an what to look for...

you need to get either a better rooftop antenna or an amplified adapter . it is undetermine which stations will come in for digital.

hi yes that would help but rember they are for you to drain with please check the seal rubbers around the boot also there are drain holes in the gully where the rubbers seal make sure they are not blocked check the rubbers are not perished or cracked

Did you check & make sure drain holes were cleaned out in base of unit on roof? When you say overflow, do you mean drip pans under cover on roof unit, and if so, did you inspect them for cracks ? There were some years that experience cracks in drip pans.

I WOTLD PULL THE SPARK PLUGS AND RECHECK THEM.I HAVE INSTALLED PLUGS AND CRACKED THEM OR BENT THE SPARK PLUG END CLOSED.LOOK FOR BLACK CARBON TRACS ON THE PORCELIN OF THE PLUG OR TORN BOOTS

You may have to go to your nearest electronics store or Sirius vendor to see if they have an extension cord...as a Sirius customer i never seen one though......Your best bet is to remount the antenna to the forward part of the roof, towards the windshield.
