antenna's four mounting plates. If using a liquid
construction adhesive, apply beads to the
mounting plates in a zig-zag pattern.

plate holes with the holes in the roof. Attach the
mounting plates to the roof using
diameter rivets (or appropriate fasteners). Seal all
rivet heads and edges with silicone.
10. Remove and save the eight pan head screws and
flat washers that secure the radome to the
baseplate. Carefully lift the radome straight up
until clear of the antenna assembly and set aside.
