Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A mounting apparatus for a top mount mast antenna includes a secondary part to stabilize the antenna attachment screws extending through the antenna base into the fender panel of the automotive vehicle on which the antenna is mounted. The secondary part is preferably formed of nylon to serve as a retaining device for the attachment screws so that the screws do not loosen, which ultimately causes separation of the antenna from the fender panel and a corresponding deformation of the fender panel. The secondary nylon part allows a flexible installation that can be accomplished before painting of the fender panel. The secondary part fits into the opening in the fender panel to mount on the peripheral circumference of the opening and extend outwardly form the opening below the fender panel to be positioned for engagement with the attachment screws connecting the base member of the antenna to the fender panel.
