I've noticed that alot of high-end SUV's (and more high-end vehicles) come with the shark fin antenna to which my Nissan Rogue Sport does not....
This bugs me...


I searched online (eBay, Amazon, Alibaba) for different shark fin antennas and there are quite a few available.

I just don't about know the mechanics inside the base of the stock antenna.



Would this be a plug-and-play type of thing?
How do you remove the stock base from the roof without damaging the paint?
Would the reception be affected?


Anyone have any answers?

I don't believe that the install/swap is too involved, but you do need to have a bit of understanding with electrical. Usually you have to tap into the dome/cabin light for access. Its not for the Rogue but here's an in depth look at the process on another vehicle. https://www.kia-forums.com/2016-sorento/231625-diy-replacing-pole-roof-mounted-antenna.html

I did this - piece of cake! Remove the antenna by unscrewing it, clean around the base (use 75% alcohol wipe), srew in the supplied converter and hook the wires to it. Remove the protective tape cover and stick the fin over the existing base, being careful that the wire stays above the tape. You're done and it really looks great - that cheap looking antenna is history, and the actual reception is better now than with the stock antenna!
