    Shark fin antenna replacement

    Mine needs to be replaced but I don't fell like paying $75 for the dummy. It basically is a piece of plastic and doesn't serve any purpose. Are there any alternatives? Perhaps just plugging up the hole with something?

    Hi Frank:
    I just dropped the headliner and cut the wire and took the thing off and threw it away. I found a flat plug and gooped it up with silicone and stuck it in the hole.

    Mine does too. I was going to buy this and give it a shot. For $20 can't hurt a try

    So Frank, did you buy another car or replace the 9-4x? I'm noticing a new (to you) Nocturne wagon in your garage space...

    Totally missed that thread, guess I need to browse more than the for sale/9-5 threads.
