yeah there is a nut, had to die grind a slot on underside of antenna, and a notch in front of square
hole in roof metal so wire wouldn't pinch. i siliconed the base of both antennas, stock antenna in case of leaks, and sat antenna so it wouldn't move around when i washed car.

i did notch the lip of gasket, it has pretty much conformed over past couple of months.
i'm not sure what ground you are talking about, sat antenna can't get a ground through paint that i know of, i recall instructions saying that the antenna needed to be stuck to a metal surface to work correctly, but i didn't scrap any paint off, should i have?
