Shark Fin Antenna ...Solar Roof ...oops

Here are some more pics.

 

Thanks for posting the shots! They help a lot, I was thinking the nose would sit overtop the solar panel and I wasn't sure if I wanted that. But yours looks real good, may have to save my pennies up

 

Man that looks great! I may have to order one soon.

 

Thanks for the info. If I understand you correctly, the shark fin can be removed, and the original configuration with the pole antenna can be restored, right?

 

^^ You may want to take out the end of the description where it says "Except, the shark fin is not compatible with 2010 Prius with the solar sunroof package. "

 

I got my shark fin on my IV with SR 3 months now and I love it!

Easy installation, not notice any reception lost and it looks lot better! Highly recommend!

 

Hi MLN,

I noticed you had the same problem like me when I first installed mine, the tips is a bit stick out to the solar panel. After a day like that, I work with the manufacture and they send me the 3M stickers and I push mine a bit back this time and it looks perfect (IMO) now. Hope that helps.

 

Yes. The most difficult part will be removing the 3M base sticker. I did it in less than 5 mins.

 

Danny:

Are you using one on your car? If so, how's the radio reception?

 

Looks Awesome!

When you said "pushed it back a little" I take it that you just push it up against the original housing that it there? I know looking at the original housing there isn't much room between the front of it and where the solar panel begins, yet your shark fin looks perfect.

 

Dan,

Correct. When I installed first time I ended up look like MLN, post #21 pictures. As you see the very end tips stick out/touch the solar panel very tiny little bit. I live with that for a day and I ended up removed it and reinstalled it. This time, I "push" the shark fin as back as possible and now it is perfect IMO.

 

Thanks hlkc

I will have to shell the dollars out ( which isn't a bad price) and get one, just look soo much better the the original antenna.

Dan,

It makes a pretty visible different to me and IMO it is one of the "must" do upgrade.

 

Just placed my order for the Solar Roof version of the fin. Also ordered one for my Uncle's Winter grey Prius III

 

So is the one selling in the shop the new model or the old one?

 

How much?
