Shark Fin Hole Size?

Does anyone know the size of this hole? I'm planning on removing my antenna and wanted to get a few plug covers for it.

Thanks!

 

IDK... 3? 7? 29?

 

I'm not sure if it's just a hole. It's probably more like an ovaltangle or a rectoval.

 

That's helpful...

 

@Anderson might know

 

Lol at least I didn't pretend to know, unlike many who post here. I thought my reply was humorous... sorry you didn't.

 

Here's the only drawing that I could find of the antenna assembly...sorry, there's just not a lot of info out there...

However, it looks there's like a rectangular gasket under the antenna assembly.

 

It's a sqaure hole IIRC. Might have to make a custom plug.

 

Depends on year/generation. I think there is a thread somewhere around here that shows multiple generations of the antenna assembly.

 

Lol took the jackass part out eh? IDK man.

 

Post #15 of this thread shows a picture of the hole on a 2nd gen (2015) where the antenna was damaged by the garage door...

Post #34 provides some additional useful information...Good Luck!!

Here's another thread where they developed a 3-D printed cover to replace the shark fin on 2nd gens

and here's is where they offered it up for sale...

This looks like the cover for the 3rd gens...except for 2020's

Thanks! I'll look through these

 

Just have to ask....Why remove it?

 

I wanted to mount the RTT close to the roof, I don't plan on having a roof rack and we don't use the radio... the kids are always connecting their phones to the radio.

 

I paid $65 for the stubby antenna from a 2011 found here. More scattered info in my post over here.

 

As far as removal, if you clothesline a cable at 20mph it pops right off!

 

Surprised at the amount of circuitry in that thing. I always thought it was mainly for looks. Maybe it IS reporting your position to the KGB?

 

This is the hole in a 2nd Gen. lol

 

Maybe that is why my radio is pulling in distant stations. That looks like a $1000 repair when it gets broken or water damaged.
