Shark Fin Antenna (black, ABS)

Description

The black roof fin is a universal decorative cover in the shape of a “shark fin” made of ABS plastic, size 17 × 7.5 × 6.5 cm, which is glued to the roof of any car with a flat area for the base. It does not claim antenna functions: there is no cable, connector, or amplifier in the комплект, so it does not provide radio reception and does not replace the factory antenna — it is an exterior styling element.

Is it an antenna or décor?

Décor. The package includes — 1 pc., installation type — self-adhesive, without electrical connection. This kind of fin is installed to make the car look more modern, to cover the spot after an old antenna has been removed, or to add a roof accent to match the body color. If you specifically need FM or GPS reception, keep the factory antenna: the fin is not designed to go over it, and we do not confirm compatibility with the base of a specific antenna.

How is the fin mounted and what roof does it fit?

• Mounting: adhesive base (self-adhesive) — no need to drill the roof.
• Mounting area: you need a roof section no smaller than the base — 17 cm long and 7.5 cm wide. On a heavily curved roof, check that the base sits flush over the entire area.
• Car make: the product is universal, with no model-specific fitment. Usually it is installed closer to the rear edge of the roof, centered.
• Height 6.5 cm — keep this in mind if you carry a roof box: the box must not touch the fin.

How to stick it on correctly?

1. Test-fit the fin and mark the position (for example, with masking tape).
2. Wash and degrease the roof area, let it dry.
3. Stick it on in warm, dry weather: on cold metal the adhesive layer bonds worse.
4. Press the fin down around the entire perimeter and do not wash the car at a car wash during the first day.

For extra reliability, some owners run automotive sealant along the edge of the base. You can remove a glued-on fin by slightly warming the base with a hair dryer.

Can the fin be painted to match the car color?

Yes. The ABS plastic housing is painted like other plastic body parts: scuffing, plastic primer, paint to the car’s color code, clear coat. The black version is often left as-is — it matches a black roof, panoramic glass, or black roof rails and is clearly visible on light-colored bodies. For a white car without painting, there is a white fin of the same size.

What is the difference between the black and white fins?

Both versions are made by HongHang. Other fins, including vehicle-specific ones, are collected in the “Roof fin” category.
