<p>The present invention improves the workability in installation work for an antenna element which is disposed in an interior space of an automotive exterior accessory. A joint 34, connecting an antenna element 24 and a ground conductor 26 to a cable 32, includes an element relay conductor 42 connected to an inner conductor of the cable 32 and a ground relay conductor 44 connected to an external conductor of the cable 32. First, a worker puts the antenna element 24 and the ground conductor 26 via an opening 22 into an interior space of a roof spoiler 18 and fixes them to pre-designated positions. Then, the worker places the joint 34 between the antenna element 24 and the ground conductor 26 and inserts edges of the joint 34 into a grip portion 36 of the antenna element 24 and a grip portion 38 of the ground conductor 26. When the insertion of the joint 34 is accomplished, the element relay conductor 42 can be held by the grip portion 36 of the antenna element 24 and the ground relay conductor 44 can be held by the grip portion 38 of the ground conductor 26. Thus, workers can smoothly finish the installation work of the antenna element without causing any interference with the cable.</p> |
