Yeah mine lifted off a bit from the back too. like 1 mm. Its only noticable if you stand right next to the car and stare at it.

Visual Garage offered to send me a new pre-cut adhesive strip, but for now I'm gonna leave it as it is, unless it starts to spread to the entire fin.

well yea same here I guess Icould email them and tell them my problem... What me and my dad came up with is we had a bag of salt in the garage so we put a thick towel over the shark fin then put the bag of salt on it. We are going to let it stay on there for 6-8 hrs see if that helps lol.///

not that I have heard of, they wanted me to send my anntenna back so they can see what the problem was, that was causing it not to sit tight on the back of the roof. But I just had them send me 2 new foam pads.

Hi Guys

I just ordered a black one to fit on top of my Lancer. I actually live outta Richmond where they're based so I'm going to pick it up in person when it's ready. I'll be sure to check if they've made improvements to the back of the antenna.

My gaskets starting to peel on the back a little, car hasn't been in rain though, mostly highway mileage.

You guys?
