TOP BRACKET INSTALLATION:
NOTE
It is very important that the metal portion of the antenna is kept at least 1 inch away from any
vehicle chassis ground points including vehicle frame, defogger wires, factory OEM in glass wires, trim
screws etc.
NOTE:
Vehicles with aftermarket tint must have non-metallic tint.
5. Install the top bracket by removing any clips or trim along the top edge of the rear glass and
carefully pulling down the headliner. Place the magnet on the metal along the vehicle centerline
and position the strap so that only a small amount is visible and it aligns with the antenna. The
copper strap may be trimmed in length for a better fit.
The connector pad has a setscrew used to secure the fiberglass rod. Make sure the hole with
the screw is placed to the side of the strap when attaching. Peel and stick the connector pad
onto the exposed strap.

6. Measure the length of fiberglass rod needed by inserting the finished end of the rod into the
tuning mast and holding it up to the connector pad. Cut the rod to length. Fiberglass has a
tendency to splinter if cut with diagonal cutters. Use a saw or sharp knife to cut across the
fibers. Always use the appropriate eye protection and gloves to avoid injury.
Slide the cut rod through the connector pad and into the tuning mast.
Tighten setscrew from the side of the connector pad to secure the rod in place.
Reinstall any trim or screws for the headliner.
