How does the Shark Antenna Come off?!
hey guys... do I need to drop the headliner down to pull out the Shark-Fin Antenna as there may be a bolt underneath it?
Or... Is it just double sided tape? I'm pretty confident there may be 1-2 10mm nuts/bolts holding it in place?
Also... if the headliner does need to come down... whats the best way to do it without damaging it?!
Thanks!
On another note:
Is this the cheapest price for a replacement shark fin? (So I can paint it black ahead of time before I remove the old antenna to wrap the roof...
