Removing the shark fin roof antenna
Does anyone know exactly how to remove it? Do i have to drop the headliner or can i get to the bolt by removing the rear dome light ? I want to wrap my roof, spoiler and rear diffuser with carbon fiber wrap. It doesn't look hard at all using knife less tape but i feel like if i try and drop that headliner i am going to snap a clip or something. I may just skip the roof unless the bolt is right under the rear dome light.

Wanted to wrap my roof as well and this local place had already wrapped a RC F. They need to remove the inside rear panels, rear seats, and headliner just to get to the shark fin. Labor alone was $300. I passed.

I could just cut around it and tuck it under the shark fin but i want the shark fin to be wrapped also. i think it will look more oem if wrapped. I guess i may just have to try and loosen the headliner . Just wish i could find a tutorial or someone who's done it

Thanks for all the info this helps a lot. So at least i know it can be unbolted threw the dome light. And if i cant get it i can always order the overlay off ebay and try and find a wrap that matches it if i choose to not remove it. Hopefully this knifeless tape will work as well for me as i seen on youtube
