Zusammenfassung:An antenna adapter which can be mounted to the roof of a vehicle equipped with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) roof-mounted "shark fin" antenna comprises a spacer having a generally oblong body that is at least as large as the footprint of the OEM antenna with a mounting surface that extends beyond the footprint of the OEM antenna. The mounting surface is adapted to receive an antenna base while the underside of the adapter includes an oblong recess for routing an antenna cable from the antenna base to the interior of the vehicle. The adapter is mounted to the vehicle roof using a threaded fastener that is longer than the OEM fastener. The adapter is sandwiched between the OEM antenna and the vehicle roof to provide a leakproof seal.
