Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can re-stick my shark fin antenna back onto my roof. I would like to place my GPS antenna under it, but have no clue how I would reseal and stick the shark fin back down. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

ummm... doesn't a GPS unit need clear line of site to the sky in order to work? It's not like radio waves where it goes through most objects.

Hey thanks. I didn't realize all it was is 3m tape.

Nope just like a Sat Radio antenna it will work fine... Look at the Porsche Cayenne. The GPS antenna is inside the rear spoiler. Plastic doesnt block the signal like metal does...
