A fixing piece engaged with the locking claw is provided on the outer cover side, an engaging portion of the fixing piece is formed as a concave surface instead of the through opening. The configuration eliminates the need for providing the fixing piece with a claw-shaped protrusion, damage of the fixing piece can be prevented. In addition, the fixing piece is not readily subject to a defect such as a weld, so that increased mechanical strength can be improved.

Abstract: Provided is an on-board antenna waterproof structure that eliminates the need for assembling a waterproof structure by manual work, thus preventing an attachment error, and in which waterproof resin is strongly fused to a resin base. A waterproof structure applied in an on-board antenna installed on an antenna installment surface comprises a resin base (10) made of resin, and a flexible, antenna installed-side waterproof resin portion (20). The resin base (10) has one surface facing the antenna installment surface and the other surface being covered by an antenna cover (3) defining an outer shape of the on-board antenna. The antenna installed-side waterproof resin portion (20) abuts the antenna installment surface.
