Default Shark Fin Cap Removal

Searched the forum a bit about the antenna removal but haven't got any easier methods.

Trying to wrap the car myself...

Has anyone done this recently and knows the best way to remove antenna? A DIY would be appreciated for the community

Essentially all sharkfins are taped on.

Here is a video.

The problem is not removal... but finding something that will be secure enough to stick it back on there.




If you do manage to break your sharkfin... Craven sells them

Not sure about the quality vs the Lexus one.
Do this at your own risk lol

This isn't an IS shark fin... is this how you removed yours?....

Many threads here consists of removing interior dome light and pulling out liner to reach into a bolt.

You are correct, apparently it is different from the German ones I am used to.
Here you go

Apparently you need to
"Correct you need to pull both C pillars off, remove the rear center lights and pull the headliner down."


Maybe you should do a DIY video for everyone ?
