To those with Beatsonic Sharkfin

I'm about to install the sharkfin antenna. To those who have installed it, any thoughts in hindsight in regards to securing the "insides"? I'm thinking loctite on the screw. I just don't want any rattles after it's on there....

My came with a locking washer on the screw. Tightened the sucker up pretty good too.

As stated above, it comes with a locking washer. I've never heard of any rattles months after the install.

The dealer installed mine for me, but I've never had any issues with it whatsoever.

Great radio reception too.
