Abstract
A telescopic antenna for use in vehicles including an antenna element which has a cap on its tip and a removable locking element at its base, an antenna housing which is mounted to the vehicle body and has an insertion hole for removably housing the antenna element therein, and a fastener provided on the antenna element and screwed in to the antenna housing for fastening the antenna element thereto. When the fastener is unscrewed and the antenna element is removed from the antenna housing, the fastener can be removed from the antenna element after the locking projection is dismounted from the antenna element regardless of the size of the cap so that the fastener is reusable.
