Shark Fin Antenna?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am back! Loving my 2013 Ford Edge Sport. I was just curious, and I am sure it has been discussed before, is it possible to have a shark fin antenna on a 2013? If no… why has Ford made this so complicated? LOL. I use to own a 2011 Ford Explorer and was about to get one before I lost it in Sandy. I just don’t get why Ford has so many different antenna types.

This is from an Explorer forum, but I believe the same can be installed on the Edge:

In my opinion, the shark fin antenna would not look right at the front of the roof, unlike the Explorer that has it its antenna at the back. An alternative can be a stubby antenna.

Half of me thinks it would look hot but because of the angle it wouldn’t be possible. I know you can put a “false” one on the roof. Has anyone done the stubby one? Do you still see it as much as a standard one?

I got the stubby one for my Mkx, looks better then stock but sticks out about half the stock length. Wish Ford would have placed the antenna in the back.

Yea I am hoping that is one of the things they fix on the 2015. As far as I can tell there is no antenna yet on the 2015… hopefully they do a shark fin.
