Did I screw up Shark Fin install?
So I just got a shark fin that had no instructions. The installation itself went fine, but I just realized I installed it on a newly waxed car. I didn't clean off the wax and this thing has a lot of adhesive. What are the chances it'll fall off?
And yes I'm an idiot. |

I think you'll be fine. Don't worry about it.

If i remember correctly it does have to be cleaned off of all chemicals for the "best results" but it should be fine if you can apply a good amount of pressure to the wing and it doesnt move. Just cross your fingers when your on the highway

If its a Beatsonic its on forever. If it's one of those cheap Chinese Alibaba or eBay fins then when you hit 60MPH it's going to fly off and embed itself in the windshield of the car behind you.
Seriously, most that can happen is that it will lift slightly. Too late, but you should have used IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to clean the area first. |

worse comes to worse you get to spend an hour cleaning the old tape off, reapplying new tape, and then properly placing it on
