i washed the car, removed the old antenna, quick detailed the entire roof, then installed the new antenna. zero issues so far. but i also ordered the oem sharkfin as new from a dealer, so it's possible there could be some quality issues with either a used, or aftermarket component. and while you're up there, i recommend a third brake light relocation as well!

Be careful of that yellow wash and wax. IMO seemed to deteriorate my black plastic vents on the side. I prefer Meguiar's Deep Crystal or Gold Class now.
And leave the RC car antenna! |

Just use some trim renewal on those plastics to rehydrate them no? I'm using the meguiars gold class wax. Usually use the rain x wash and wax but meguiars seemed to be just as good.
