Also keep forgetting that I need to install a drain hose from the bottom of the antenna housing through the trunk floor. Don't want the trunk full of water!

You totally welcome. Unfortunately, I'm retired and don't have access to a metal lathe anymore. So, I used a abrasive cartridge roll on a straight die grinder.
