Rattling Antenna

[socalhd]

Anyone have a simple fix?
I have the Omni Directional style and it rattles in a slight breeze let alone wind. I got up there to see what I could do. It appears to slip over the mount and attach with 2 bolts and Nuts. Not sure if there is supposed to be a rubber sleeve between the antenna and the mount or what.
But it sits right over my head when in bed and sounds like someone is banging on the trailer

I put 2 shims under mine and it cured the problem The only problem is that when you want to lower the antenna you'll have to climb up there and pull the shims.

The omnidirectional ones don't raise/lower like the batwing type.

About the only fix I would know of is climbing up and checking for loose mounting to the roof, or the saucer part coming loose from the mast.

Thank you but I did that before I posted this question. From what I can tell the thru bolts are undersized from the holes in the shaft. I did tighten them down a bit. But the antenna wobbles by hand.I imagine this should not be rigid so as not to damage the roof. It is going back to the dealer for some warranty work so I added this to my list. I am thinking some rubber or nylon washers on the inner side.
I did not hear it wobbling last night. So maybe I fixed it

Keystone impact antenna rattles when the wind blows has anyone developed a good fix for this

I bought some electrical shrink wrap that covers the splicing of electric wires from Harbor Freight and used a heat gun to shrink them around the bolts, leaving the thread ends bare. My bolts were also just a little bigger than the holes, and it fixed the rattling.
