Feb 202275000 mi | Shark fin antenna was allowing water into the cargo area. I removed it and discovered that the mounting tabs had been bent by the previous owner, so it didn't seal fully. There's a gouge on the side of it that probably documents the impact that bent it. Turns out it's a dummy antenna since we don't have the navigation head unit! I straightened the tabs and reinstalled. Replaced an ignition coil that I broke while replacing the PCV valve. |
