Yes. The antenna pod is held by a nut from under the roof; I haven't seen any gasket there when I changed the pod a few weeks ago. There is a good chance of water entry into the headliner.

Unfortunately the gasket is part of the antenna base.

I originally had the SiriusXM prep antenna. Changed it out for the cheaper non-satellite Base and just didn't connect the extra cable.

yep, seal it up and then either get a new base or try to fix the old gasket.
