- 2017 Explorer Platinum
I did some searching first, but couldn’t find exactly what I’m looking for. My apologies if I overlooked something.
I have a 2017 Platinum. I have a somewhat unique situation. I have a motorized stacked parking garage. I had been parking my Explorer on the upper platform, but I just noticed some rust damage on the platform that weakened it making it too risky to keep parking my Explorer on it. The lower platform is fine, but doesn’t have much clearance. Long story short, my OEM sharkfin antenna is about 1/2 too tall to allow me to reverse park in my garage. It hits the upper platform. I can park nose in with no problem, but reversing out again is an adventure due to limited space in the alleyway behind my garage. It’s even more of an adventure than it needs to be due to an intermittent reverse camera issue I’m having (that’s worth a whole other thread).
I saw some threads regarding the visual garage sharkfin antenna, but their site doesn’t list height specs.
Does anyone know of any alternatives that are smaller than the OEM part?
Cheers.
