Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of vehicular antenna assemblies and methods relating to assembling vehicular antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, a vehicular antenna assembly generally includes a dielectric antenna carrier and at least one antenna coupled to the dielectric antenna carrier. The at least one antenna includes a lower end portion that extends downwardly relative to the dielectric antenna carrier. The lower end portion is positionable within an opening in a printed circuit board and/or positionable in electrical contact with a contact member along the printed circuit board when the dielectric antenna carrier and the at least one antenna are moved relatively downward toward the printed circuit board.

Vehicular antenna assemblies

An antenna assembly includes a radome, a camera, and a plug assembly. The radome defines an opening. The camera is positionable at least partially within the opening. The camera and the radome define a passage when the camera is positioned at least partially within the opening of the radome. The plug assembly is positionable at least partially within the passage. The plug assembly includes a plug having one or more first coupling structures and a seal having one or more second coupling structures. At least one of the first coupling structures and at least one of the second coupling structures are mateable to detachably couple the seal to the plug to substantially prevent contaminants from passing into the radome via the opening of the radome. Other antenna assemblies, plug assemblies, and methods relating to assembling antenna assemblies and/or plug assemblies are also disclosed.
