Abstract
A self-adjusting antenna mounting assembly includes a protective base cap member which engages a vehicle antenna base and a contact extension cartridge. The contact cartridge includes a spring-biased hollow contact sleeve which biases the contact sleeve within a cavity so that it adjusts for varying lengths of contact pins which it engages. The contact sleeve has multiple arc-like segments which permit it to engage a contact pin of the antenna base, while not transferring any forces to it during installation.
