Is there a part out there to seal off where the antenna comes out from?
 
I never use my power antenna. I've had it disabled since I brought the rig. I bought the aftermarket snorkel from ebay and removed the power antenna to accommodate it. Where the antenna pops out of the fender was cracked so I ended up just breaking it off without thinking ahead. Now I have a badass snorkel but a hole in my fender where the antenna is suppose to go. Is there some kind of a rubber part I can buy for it to just seal it up to prevent water from going in? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to add pics but I am on mobile and it's not allowing me.

I would look into rubber grommets but that specific hole is oblong. You might to be able to silicon the power antenna grommet that goes above the fender in place then silicone were the mass would be shut. Then put whatever size grommet fits the antenna mast on the sealed grommet.

Worst case an body shop could seal that hole as if it was never there.

Great idea on the rubber grommets. I will look into that. I don't think I want to permanently seal it up. I'm considering putting a cb antenna there down the road.
