Abstract: An antenna base having a metal foot and plastic bezel injection molded around the metal foot to engage the metal foot. Double sided adhesive tape connects the antenna base to a non-conductive surface of a motor vehicle. In most instances this is a motor vehicle windshield. Inside the motor vehicle a coupling box connects communications signals from a signal source through the windshield to the metal foot. The coupling box supports a printed circuit board having conductive patterns on both sides for sending and receiving these communications signals. The metal foot also includes structure that allows an elongated antenna to be adjustably supported by the base in a signal sending and receiving orientation.
