An antenna for mounting on a motor-vehicle part formed with a throughgoing
hole of nonround shape has a base plate engageable with the part over the
hole and carrying antenna components and a stem projecting through the
hole. A bayonet plate has an outer edge of nonround shape capable of
passing axially through the hole of the part and not able to pass through
the hole of the part in another angularly offset position. This bayonet
plate can move angularly on the base plate between an install position
and a holding position and is urged by a spring toward the base plate and
against the part. Spacers engageable in the install position hold the
bayonet plate at a predetermined large axial spacing from the base plate
and disengage from each other in the holding position to allow the
bayonet plate to be pressed by the spring against the motor-vehicle part.
