Abstract: An antenna array for a motor vehicle has at least one seal which is composed of a nonconductive material and has an antenna which is mounted in the region of a sealing face of the seal and has the purpose of receiving radio signals. A convertible roof or sun roof or some other metallic vehicle part which is part of the antenna array can be positioned against the sealing face during the operation of the antenna and removed again. The antenna forms, with the metallic vehicle part which bears against the seal, the slot antenna which is effective between at least two metal faces. On the other hand, in the state in which no vehicle part bears against the seal, the antenna forms a flat electrical reception monopole which extends at a distance from a metal face which forms the antenna ground.
