Abstract:
A third brake light antenna adapter includes an antenna base attached to a spacer that is installed between the vehicle third brake light and the third brake light opening. The spacer is provided with gaskets, substantially identical to the OEM third brake light gaskets, which provide weatherproof seals between the spacer and the vehicle and between the spacer and the third brake light. Special support brackets enable the spacer to grip the inside of the vehicle passenger compartment to hold it securely to the vehicle without extensive modifications to the vehicle structure itself.

Claim (Index 1):
An antenna adapter for attaching a communications antenna to an original equipment third brake light aperture on a vehicle equipped with an original equipment third brake light, which is attached to the vehicle by original equipment mounting holes, the antenna mount comprising:\n a spacer comprising a generally rectangular body having a front wall, a back wall and an interior wall forming a hollow portion, the spacer further comprising an outer peripheral surface, the peripheral surface comprising an upper wall, a lower wall and a pair of side walls joined by a plurality of curvilinear corners such that the peripheral surface matches the outer contour of the original third brake light aperture, the upper wall comprising a raised boss extending outward therefrom, the raised boss having an upper surface adapted to receive an antenna base and an aperture for receiving an antenna cable passing from the antenna base into the hollow portion of the generally rectangular body, the spacer further comprising a plurality of through-holes that match the mounting holes for the original equipment third brake light; and a support bracket, the support bracket comprising a solid body having a plurality of threaded apertures, the support bracket sized and shaped so that when the support bracket is attached to the spacer by means of the threaded apertures, the support bracket extends to cover at least a portion of an inside surface of the original equipment third brake light aperture of the vehicle, whereby the spacer is attached to the vehicle by clamping the inside surface of the original equipment third brake light aperture between the spacer and the support bracket and by threading a plurality of fasteners through the plurality of through holes into the original equipment mounting holes.
