Check your Shark fins!!


Recommended Posts

Hi, thanks for the add.  Just to make you aware, that our shark fin on our 6 week old LBX has been letting a lot of water into the rear of the vehicle, through the headlining, then running down into the boot wheel well, via the left "C" pillar trim. It might be worth checking yours in case you have a similar problem.  Ours manifested itself when the reversing camera display was on constantly and the reversing lights would not turn off. There is now corrosion into the wheel well were the 2 inches of water was sitting, the 12 volt socket is also corroded and we as mentioned above the electrics are playing up!!  Go check!!IMG_2501.thumb.JPEG.f078ac2ff9c781d65660a9bceb2726c2.JPEGIMG_2490.thumb.JPEG.4efd52d7bbc50aace9c104e5924bec94.JPEGIMG_2488.thumb.JPEG.91c82fbd314409a8f4e32bb04db6e6b8.JPEGIMG_2486.thumb.JPEG.78f8db8d5f4abd033467efd74747fac7.JPEGIMG_2485.thumb.JPEG.f9cf66dfeaf77d20eb94d309f64fcb97.JPEGIMG_2484.thumb.JPEG.f80fc8cbbb34cd253d8a593cf6dc2c80.JPEG

Rob this is shocking to see!!!! I posted in this form on the 30th of August re my concern about the shark fin antenna fitment concern. I was washing my LBX and when I was drying the car, I bumped the shark fin and noticed it seemed to lift up a little. I then posted and as comments suggested to take it to the dealer. I have done nothing about it, thinking its maybe just me, but now seeing your post makes me very worried!!

This is totally not on and suspect I have the same issue as you. Does your shark fin antenna feel rather wobbly? If you gently push is from one side, does it seem to lift? I suspect there are many other cars out there with the same issue. I will definitely have to get mine seen too.

Please can I ask you to keep us posted please on what the dealers have to say, would be most obliged.
