HYS Car Antenna Mount Stainless Steel Car Clip Mount Trunk Lid Hatchback Mount Bracket Adjustable Angle with SO239 to PL-259 Connector,16.4Ft of RG-58 Coax Cable

Great alternate mount

I bought three of them and I had attach them on different places on my car's body. The ability of 180 degree (a bit more, even) on vertical and horizontal gives you a lot of flexibility. The foot is pretty thin, but sturdy and protected with a layer of plastic/rubber (I assume), so will protect the paint and also stick to the body.Very good product!

I got 2 of these and mounted them sideways on the top of my cars back hatch. They hold a 38" 140/230/450mhz antenna and a 96" Sirio p5000T 28-30 mhz antenna. I would say get this over a mag mount if you are able. Driven up to 85mph with the antennas mounted and only issue was the "impact fold" of my 3band antenna due to wind load. The mounts are still stable after 2-3 weeks of use.

It is sturdy, easy to install and very good quality. This mount can be removed or added in a few minutes time. Only negative is that the mount does not ground to the vehicle. I just added a ground strap to the base to the car.

I put these on the back of my truck hood near the windshield. They are very adjustable! Very sturdy.

In other words, you can swivel left and right or up and down but not side to side to straighten the antenna to be 90 degrees up and down. This means your vehicle needs either a straight angle on the hatchback or it won't work. On the 2020 Subaru Outback the location I wanted to mount to was either the bottom or the bottom right side. When attached to the bottom there was no way to mount the antenna vertically. When attachec to the bottom right the antenna mount had a similar problem with the antenna pointed about 60 degrees to the right of the vehicle instead of straight up and down. I was able to find a fairly straight edge on the hatcback but it is about 2 feet higher than I was hoping to mount it which means I'll need to fold the antenna down to get in/out of the garage. The main defect of this mount is it lacks the ability to swivel in all 3 axes. With only 2 axes of rotation there are mounting points that will never be practical. I'm going to try the mount out for a few weeks as my only other option that works is a modified bike rack mount that attaches to the trailer hitch but, as expected, that doesn't work great with a hatchback even though I can tilt the trailer mount down but when the dogs are in the back it makes it hard to not have them jump on the antenna or get their leashes tangled up in the antenna so I have to take the mount off which is inconvenient. But if you want to mount your antenna to a standard sedan trunk or engine hood it should work well. Just watch the hatchback mount that you do have a striaght edge to mount to.

This antenna mount far exceeds the mount similar to it I had previously. It would never stay tight at the antenna mount, so the antenna kept laying over. This mount has not loosened up at all. The quality of the material is excellent.

Did not receive set screws that ground antenna and secure mount to car. I know I can get some locally but it is a pain to have to. No size of set screw is given so I'll have to remove rubber coating at set screw hole to try find correct size!
