Some people have asked how to install Visual Garage's Shark Fin Antenna on the GC. Here's how I did it:
Clean the area around the antenna with rubbing alcohol.
Unscrew the OEM "pigtail" antenna from the base
Place the shark fin antenna in position (don't remove the adhesive cover) and use blue painter's tape to outline the antenna's shape. This will help you position the antenna perfectly when you glue it down.
It should look like this when you're done outlining
Screw the shark fin antenna to the OEM base making sure that the ring's tab (circled in yellow) points down. Otherwise, it will not fit.
Check the radio to make sure you have good reception.
Remove the adhesive cover paper and glue down the shark fin antenna (don't put pressure on it yet). Remove the blue painter's tape.
Follow the Visual Garage installation instructions to apply pressure for one minute.
Voila! Total installation time: less than 10 minutes.
Here's a shot of both our Explorer and Grand Cherokee sporting their Shark Fin Antennas!
P.S. This is my installation experience and it is not meant to replace Visual Garage's own installation instructions. Install at your own risk. I assume no responsibility if you screw-up.
