F30 BMW 328i Shark Fin Antenna Removal

[@AlexeiTetenov]

Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the adhesive so that it will be more pliable and easier to remove, and then use the plastic scraper to push/pull it off.

[@johnnymuro3789]

use a card , like a gift card or a credit card to help you get that sticky stuff off instead of a knife . i used that with goo gone and it worked like magic !

[@NathannLouu]

Are you gonna show us the pin we gotta push in or what?

[@ahmadsmeili3133]

You posted this at the best possible time aha I'm wrapping my roof Tom

[@KiesMotorsports]

My wrap videos of the fin and the roof will be up in a week or two. Are you doing it yourself?

[@ahmadsmeili3133]

Kies Motorsports ya

[@jlam3297]

I'm about to do this to my M240 solo so I can install a carbon fiber roof wrap. It looks like the same procedure as I look at my antennae. Cleaning glue is probably the worst part about car mods. I thank you for the video sir.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yea the glue is the worst part. Good luck!

[@dhansens]

BMW recommends you use windscreen adhesive to reattach. This also means you don't have to worry too much about removing all the adhesive as the activator allows the material to bond on remnant sealant and it's also more secure.

[@tommytexter4054]

Daniel Hansens right! Windshield sealant is better. Tape is shit. I even used betalink back in last yr for reattchament. Saw leak yesterday... fxxk...

[@vidaldm]

Dude, you just saved me a lot of money. Thank you very much.

[@pituq129]

That s a good design. Unlike some cars have to pull liner off

[@wilmingtonfuel6221]

To make it faster next time try carburetor cleaner to take the adhesive tape out it works perfect on paint( not on plastic) it worts perfect and does NOT damage the pain. But never use it on plastic it eats the plastic.

[@stevenacevedo956]

Thanks for your advice man!💪🏻👍🏻

[@christopherbeltran4219]

What glue/tape did you use to seal it back up?

[@jtsn667]

This for all BMW f30's?

[@tchrishyde]

Is this the same process for the F01/F02 7 series?

[@pituq129]

Are all bmw like that ?

[@GeorgeG4895]

I skipped through your add thing at the start

[@KiesMotorsports]

It's a good product, you should check it out :)

[@brandonl8931]

same on e90 ?

[@brettkrehling8738]

Hey man do you know if the process is the same on the 1 series?

[@joelsteiner5859]

Yess it is

[@sebbekartellen6493]

Yes it is. I just did it to my f20

[@joshuahignojoz3652]

Damn i wish this video was made before I did mine in the summer of 16 about 4 months too late haha I did the same for mine, i wasn't able to do a one piece on the fin, instead it was one piece but I wrapped it around the front and on the flat back piece I had to angle if just right but made a v in the wrap and made sure the edges were flush with each other, you couldn't tell unless you're right up on it. Nice job!!!

[@davidmegret6852]

You should use spider thread fishing line to remove

[@pituq129]

So the Olfa blade won’t cut through those tapes ? 😭

[@ThatCasinoLife]

i have a 2013 328i is the removal the same? please respond thank you

[@KiesMotorsports]

Yea, my car is a 2013 328

[@ThatCasinoLife]

Kies Motorsports thank god you responded im in the garage with the vinyl ready to wrap my roof and I've been trying to figure out how to take this off for hours thanks a lot man

[@KiesMotorsports]

No problem, good luck. Email me if you need me.. [e-mail]

[@ThatCasinoLife]

Kies Motorsports Will do!

[@swarajsandhu]

Same procedure for f10???

[@mrzues7260]

I can’t I clip the wires! I’ve bent and cut the little plastic clips with the screw driver and they won’t budge.

[@abrahamgarcia7227]

What's the Silicon brand?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I'll post links to everything to make it easy to find

[@cleec84]

Im just curious, if ur wrapping the roof anyways, y r u that worried about the paint? Especially the paint underneath the fin that will always be covered anyways? I mean okay I can understand if you're thinking of in the future if you take the wrap off how the paint would look underneath but wrap supposed to last at least a good few years right?

[@sabbage100]

Plastic razor blades?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I used to use them when I professionally detailed cars, I don't think they would work

[@elcaregato]

Can you specify the year

[@KiesMotorsports]

2013

[@elcaregato]

Do you know if the new ones can come off the same way?

[@KiesMotorsports]

I believe it's the same

[@hancockoffroad]

Does the Goo Gone not hurt the clear coat of the car??

[@booboo699254]

I don't believe so... it's often used to remove sap from the car. However it will of course take off wax (and likely those ceramic coatings).

[@dinhocosta8208]

you help me a lot, thank you!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Awesome!

[@tikakosilackadobre9389]

Video point👍

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

What are the 4 connections? I can imagine GPS might be one... whats the other 3?

[@sawraps8059]

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! Let me finish a few more modifications and retrofits. I have some good ones coming :)

[@sawraps8059]

bet man

[@abrahamgarcia7227]

Hey Kies, I would like to see when you put the shark fin back on (:

[@KiesMotorsports]

Sorry, I actually didn't film it.. I would just use silicone if I did it again

[@abrahamgarcia7227]

Kies Motorsports can you tell me the brands and or which products you used? Thanks for the reply Kies!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Hi. Sure, for the vinyl wrap or the products in this video?

[@abrahamgarcia7227]

Kies Motorsports All if you don't mind! (:

[@KiesMotorsports]

Sure, I used Vvivid film, a DeWalt break off knife, Goo Gone, painter's tape and a T25 torx bit. Does that help?

[@ayenunu]

You were born YESTERDAY.. Use a dental floss..

[@charleshager7189]

PLASTIC RAZOR! And a hair dryer. Googone is definitely a staple tho

[@xxon3godxx584]

This vid made me sweat hard bruh 😰😰😰😰

[@hancockoffroad]

Does the Goo Gone not hurt the clear coat of the car??

[@morgansharp1616]

Not if you use it correctly. Dont let it sit on your car for longer than you need and wash the area after using it. It will, however, strip the wax layer so you will need to rewax the body panel
