Anyone have problems with TV Antenna & Radome?

Noticed that the radome is very loose on the TV antenna. Lots of freeplay to rattle around.

Additionally, there does not appear to be much support where the antenna base attaches with 4 fasteners, it is easy to move around and it just kind of oil cans the sheet aluminum.

So wondering if anyone has had (structural) problems with the antenna and/or radome. I imagine it really shakes and rattles while traveling.

Don't really want to just remove it, as we often tune into local morning news for weather and traffic.

No experience. Could this be another example of the factory missing the correct installation point by just enough miss the solid location? Feels risky to leave it up there wobbling — driving into a headwind is some serious force.

Mine does it too, annoying. The mount is solid but the dome will wobble.
