shark fin on trunk lid Posted by beardie [Email] ![]() ![]() |
My '06 9.3 2.0T ARC has a shark fin antenna on the trunk lid as well as the regular short audio antenna on the right rear fender. I assumed the fin was for on-star, GPS navigation or cell phone technology. The car did not have On star, GPS/nav or phone/blue-tooth installed when purchased. sales rep was vague but said it would be for future use if I opted to have these installed.
On a recent visit I asked the the service advisor about the functionality of the fin, she said it is hollow piece of plastic and not used for any thing. Asked why it would be installed if no other function was applied to it and she did not have an answer.
I thought with Saab's "form followed function", if so this doesn't make sense that it is hollow. Although being an avid fisherman it is nice to see the fin following me around when I look in the rear view.. Any one have any insight on this, did Saab leave out something that was to be installed along with this plastic shell?
