Abstract
A vehicle includes a roof panel and a vehicle antenna device. The roof panel includes a roof portion and an antenna cover portion that protrudes from the roof portion and has an internal space. The vehicle antenna device includes a base portion and an upright portion that extends from the base portion into the internal space in the antenna cover portion. An outer imaginary plane is assumed to extend along a boundary line on a boundary portion between an outer surface of the roof portion and an outer surface of the antenna cover portion. In a state where the vehicle antenna device is mounted on the vehicle, at least part of the base portion is located below the outer imaginary plane.
Claims6
A vehicle comprising:
- a roof panel;
- and
- a vehicle antenna device, wherein
- the roof panel includes a roof portion and an antenna cover portion that are made of plastic, wherein the antenna cover portion protrudes from the roof portion and the antenna cover portion has an internal space, wherein the roof portion is a part of the roof panel where the antenna cover portion is not provided,
