For Those who installed the Vortex Generator

Ok, got mine today. I removed the weatherstripping...didn't see any clips, so I guess it just sits under it? layered it with double sided tape and put it on. Now I removed my antenna. Does that screw in AFTER it is installed. It seemed like I had to push it to get it on afterwards and screw in. Just want to make sure this is correct.

Just open the Trunk, lift up the black lining's/panels on the side of the window, raise them up make sure to have some strong tape underneath the VG, put it over the antenna and Voila.

Almost 2 years since I did this mod now, but from what I remember the bottom edge of the weather stripping is positioned in such a way that you can't get it lifted up unless you pop the trunk as well. I could go outside and look but that sounds like work

Yes, the weatherstripping is under the trunk. Open trunk, unclip weather stripping on both sides, align VG and slide the tabs in on the side, clip the weather stripping back in..

Make sure you use all the tape you can on the outsides and inbetween on the back of the VG, I put a strip of tape on every space inbetween the VG blades

Mine came with a VG but I removed it to get it painted. Definitely get it painted to match your cars color it looks so much better.
