Very true, the only logical thing I could think of to prevent that would be cut a piece of metal or some material to fit snug in the hole with jb weld, 3m glue or some sort of adhesive then vinyl over it and just keep putting vinyl on when the old vinyl wears out. But personally I think a shark fin follows the body lines way way better. This "antenna delete" comes off as something that will leak and cause problems later on in the cars life.

I used waterproof outdoor silicone around the hole perimeter in case water seeps through the adhesive.

I'm talking 2-3 years out, with a constant barrage of water and wind like on a highway at 60+ mph or something it will eventually wear away, most outdoor silicone aren't meant for that....

Ah k...well the silicone isn't exposed to the outside elements just temp. If it fails I'll just try something else.

Get a circle of metallic blue vinyl cut just big enough to cover it. They make thicker vinyls that won't be an issue as far as durability. Will be much less noticible.
