Sharkfin stops Streamline Poptop closing properly

[Mutton]

Hi we have a 2021 T6 high line, with a streamline pop top , the antenna is under the roof when it is down preventing the roof to close 100% and poor radio reception, does anyone know how to reposition it ?

Thanks (roof has solar and heated window )

Hi @Mutton , welcome to the Forum, a shame you join us under sad circumstances. Many clever folk on the forum who may well have had their Ovaltine and retired for the night, but worry not, they will return shortly with good advice. What they will want though is pictures of the offending bits and pieces causing you grief.
With pictures they can have a chance to solve your problems.
I'm presuming you have a 2021 T6.1 rather than a slightly older T6?

@Mutton, I've moved your thread here so, hopefully, you get more traction. I recommend you also post a link to this thread in the Camper/Day Van Conversion sub-forum, as your issue obviously crosses over to that section too.

I had a poptop fitted by Streamline. It felt like it was the first time they had seen a 6.1 arial, and didn’t want to relocate it themselves. Instead, they got a slightly deeper roof and trimmed it down as low as they could but leaving the arial in the OEM position.

I wasn’t impressed with Streamline, their website is a mess, the factory is disorganised, and they filled the van with swarf cutting the hole. There was swarf in some of the connectors so the rear view camera didn’t work. It wouldn’t surprise me if they got swarf in some of your cab roof cabling.

I don’t have any radio issues, but I think that fin is the SOS; DAB is in the wing mirror.
