    In this video, I will show you how to install a Shark Fin Antenna on a 2012 Chevy Cruze. This install should be the same as the Sonic.
    NOTE: I did cut my OEM antenna to retrieve the bolt/fastener that was on it. Reason I did that is because you can't find that bolt anywhere. Do what you want, but this is what I did.
    Tools needed:
    Extra 3M Tape (optional)
    Knife
    Micro Fiber Cloth with Cleaner

    Where did you purchase from? I can't seem to find one that covers the base completely

    I don't like the way that shark fin antenna fits on that roof line...that fin should be radiused to the same profile as the ruuuf...

      +JDE yeah, I know what you mean, but still think it is better than the factory RC style antenna. But, on the new Cruze’s, they come with the shark fin antenna stock. For about $50 online, you can replace the old one for one of those.

    so 4 years later, do you still have this on the car? was the 3m able to hold the fin down? been searching for a fin that'll cover that base and was never able to find one. thought about buying OEM for another GM model but didn't want to sink over 100$ on a part that might not work.
    btw, the antenna to the radio isn't using the rc antenna on top. you shouldn't of had any change in reception. I think the RC antenna is for the xm and GPS OnStar. the radio antenna is in the windshield.

    Hi! Can you still use the xm radio if you put the shark fin on?

      Great question. I can’t not guarantee one way or another. :/

      I doubt the reception will be the same as the RC antenna on top is for the xm.

      Has anyone found an antenna that fits over the OEM crap antenna? I can't find one and Chad's number didn't work. I can't find another one.
