    What’s the easiest way to get at the bottom to tighten the nut?

    I can see the bottom looking in through the engine bay, but don’t see a nut or other means to tighten it.

    Maybe I’m overlooking the obvious, again :rofl:

    Thanks for any tips!

    My and friend's gen2s always had loose antennae. I ended up just using a dab of BLUE threadlocker, letting it dry un-installed, then putting it back on ... never had a loose antenna again, and it wasn't permanently glued.

    Is it the mast or the base that's loose?

    The base. I took a closer look last evening. Do I just remove the mast then tighten the slotted part the mast screws into?
