CB Antenna Magnet Mount

Just a quick question, I got a 5" magnet mount for my antenna and it has a plastic protective sheet on the bottom covering the magnet. The edges where the chrome covering comes down are not covered though. Am I supposed to leave this on to protect the magnet, or do I take it off to get a better ground connection? Thanks for your time.
 
The plastic is there to protect your paint, leave it on.

Mag mounts do not require a direct connection to ground, but are capacitively coupled to the body when you plunk that on the roof.
