Update - Minor reception loss on some of the radio channels, but only the more distant ones. Local channels are received just fine. I would also note that the double sided tape on the sharkfin could have been beefed up in my opinion. I often look at the front of the sharkfin antenna and wonder how long until it flys off. The mounting edge of the sharkfin is only as wide as the plastic is thick, and they could have easily formed a 1/4 inch edge/lip to give it better holding area. All that said, I am still pleased with the final result and happy with the purchase.

I've had mine on for about 9 months now. It's seen sun and heat, cold, rain, snow, ice, even hail. Down to -14 (without the windchill) and up to sitting in the sun all day to a max of 105. My car goes through the automated car wash in the winter when I can't clean it myself. And I've had the car up over 100 MPH.

My roomate's Speed 6 has seen the same weather and car washes and he's had his car to over 130.

Trust me... that sharkfin is gonna stay put.

Yea even though the 3m tape is thin it holds very well... Had a sharkfin on my previous car for 2 years and no problems at all with it peeling...
