Paul,
Thanks for the Great info!
My all aluminum shorty didn't need the grommet as there was no gap, they may all fit a little different, with the tightness of the adapter double screw.
But the Reception on mine in the Mountains was Not as good as what I had with the Standard antenna, that's why I wanted to return it & get the longer one.
Yours looks Great on your XF!
