Hi Everyone,

Quick question. I just got a box because I need to fit 190 inches skies and did not want them exposed also I can use the box for other things. The only thing is even with the box as forward as possible and factory racks as back as possible. The box is really close to the shark fin antenna. I have a few quick questions.

1. Is this antenna pretty study it seems strong? But if it is it will the car leak from the roof?
2. Is it cheap to replace? The part is only like $300ish, but would labor be expensive?
3. Finally what is it for? GPS, Sat Radio seem to operate fine.

Yes the box does hit the spoiler, but its seems to made of plastic so no concern of rust. More worried about the antenna.

Thanks so much everyone in advance,

 

How much clearance is there above it? If less than half an inch I would worry because I bet the box will flex as you drive and hit bumps and it may hit and break the shark fin or damage the roof. I would consider some type of brace on either side of the fin, such as stiff foam blocks (like those kayak mounts) to protect it and the roof from damage. Such as these https://jet.com/product/detail/59a23...gaYaAun68P8HAQ

 

Thanks just ordered the kayak foam!

 

Looks great too!!! I hope I can find one local and I will return the other and fits 190cskiis

My force 625 doesn't have this on the website and that's what I need.
