A vehicle antenna assembly includes an element coil, a holder, and a retainer. The element coil can have a polygonal configuration in a cross-section taken normal to a coil access. The holder can include rails. The retainer can engage the rails and apply a compressive load on the element coil to fix the element coil with respect to the holder. A method for holding an antenna element is also disclosed.
