    Its not the best design in my book.

    Line up the tabs and push in thats it.

    After that try not touching it anymore or it keeps poping out

    Or try contact adhesive if yoy want it to stay in place.

    I could find no way of getting it to stay. Honestly, it bugged me so much I replaced the antenna.

    I just removed it and replaced with shorty antenna just to plug up the hole. It's pretty useless anyway, in my opinion.

    make sure you have the taper/bevel the right way. It's designed to sit square to the angle of the tupperware. Other than that....it's just a silly design

    First, make sure that your antenna is not loose.

    Then put some silicone spray around the bottom of the boot so that it will slip into the hole all the way.

    Push down and twist side to side slightly.......while lined up matching the slope of the body as mentioned above.

    I used a little trim cement to glue it in no problems since.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. On this issue
    Shorty antennas do they have a boot that covers
    The hole up like the OEM boot

    My shortie antenna is from value accessories. It comes with a nice rubber piece that covers the hole.
