XM antennae - watertight seal?

I washed (and Zaino'ed) my TL yesterday. I've noticed that there seems to be water getting under the XM antennae on the roof. Nothing is getting inside the car (at least as far as I can tell). But when I press down on the antenna cover, water gets pushed out. Is this something I should have the dealer look at, or is it not a problem?

Maybe there is rubber seal right under the pudgy XM antenna. Mine is the same as yours...

If you're not having a problem inside the car, I would not recommend taking it to a dealer, who might just F things up worse. The water is most likely accumulating in the small spaces between the antenna and the roof, but not actually getting into the car.

Mine does the same thing and no water is getting inside the cabin. I wouldn't worry about it.
