Sam,
I could not look up any info on the Comet web site tonight, BUT if you are 
worried you can "guy" off the ATAS 100.  I have my ATAS 100 magnet mounted on 
a Plymouth Voyager and a set of "guys" at the bottom to keep the mag from 
lifting.  Tested at speeds up to 85 + MPH antenna stayed put no problem.  
Even if you feel that the mount can hold, add the wires just for securities 
sake.  
Take Care, 73 and God Bless
