I bought a new Toyota Camry in 1995.
First thing I did to mount my mobile antennas was to drop a
Q-MAX cutter in the top of the rear wing.
I had more rust and paint damage from these gutter etc mounts on previous
cars.
The antenna base has been in over 14 years now.
No rust around it.
I did seal it all inside fully.
So I am happy how that has lasted

I could do with a new wing mount I do agree but cant find the original
type any where.

If any one is reading this . its the type that was SO239 socket with a
rubber domed spacer
with a long slot the width of the SO239 so the angle could be corrected.
Then a metal done over the lit.
Great piece of kit. I could use one if you have one in the junk box.
Or know of a source.

Just my 2cents
