If you encounter issues with your shark fin antenna cover, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Poor Signal Reception:
- Check Connection: Ensure the copper signal wire is securely connected to the original antenna's signal wire.
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm that your vehicle's original antenna base fits within the dimensions of the shark fin cover (max 170x75 MM) and that your roof is flat. An improper fit can affect signal.
- Environmental Factors: Radio signal quality can be affected by location, weather, and obstructions.
- Adhesion Issues:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the installation surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Any residue can weaken adhesion.
