In this awesome STEP BY STEP video I teach you HOW OT REPLACE YOUR KIA CAR ANTENNA. This method also works on Hyundai cars too. I included the link above. No more searching the internet for a "universal shark fin antenna". Use a genuine KIA product for your car. This same antenna cap works for both KIA and Hyundai. You will need a few tools in order to do this project successfully. You will need a small screw driver, tape, something to trim the inside plastic pieces of the antenna cap and some JB weld to seal the cap to the antenna base. I show you how to do each step. If you have any questions please leave your comments below and I will answer them. This is the only video on KZfaq showing you how to replace your KIA car antenna cap! Make sure you send this video to anyone out there who needs this done. YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW ANTENNA. Chances are you only need the antenna cap like I did.

Thanks Mate - you just saved me over $1000 Australian dollars - thats what the dealer quoted me for parts and labour to replace the whole unit. Just had to wait for the part to be sent over from the USA as noone stocks it locally - Fit like a glove on my Hyundai Sonata 2018. During the wait for the part to arrive - I put a plastic sheet over the exposed circuits and held it down with gaffer/material tape. That held up really well for the weeks I was waiting - The gaffer tape solution withstood driving on the freeway in the rain and was still solid when I had to take it off. So a big thanks from Australia👍

I noticed that you daubed the screws with the epoxy. That night it occurred to me, what if I ever have to replace the entire unit? Seems it would make taking off the unit a royal pain. If I were to do it again I wouldn't do that. Maybe tape them to prevent rattling, but not epoxy them.

Damn this is good to know! Mine recently fell off through a car wash but they were able to find the fin and handed it back to me. I was gonna call Kia myself but I knew they’d charge an arm and a leg for maintenance haha glad I came across this video 😁

Hi! I know you uploaded this a long time ago but I was wondering if this would work for a Hyundai Kona?

This happened to my car recently and I just got it. Dealership wanted around $500. Tried your method today but mine kept trying to rise up so I put alot of tape over it to hold it down. I'm going to let it sit overnight and hopefully it will be fine in the morning and stuck down

Yea I had to tape it down as well. Did you modify the inside?

MAN! THANK YOU!! That's why I made the video. The same thing happened and I just had to make it for other people. So glad that I could help. Click the link in the description for the antenna cap that I used.
