+1 Would really like to use the factory penetration for rooftop accessories. In my mind I would want XM, HAM and power to route through that spot. A nice tidy enclosure would be awesome.
Something like this maybe?
Hmmm... possibly. How does that mount? Details? Would be a great way to get wiring up to lighting on a roof rack.
Was going to tell them goodbye after yearly rate fights, but a friend sent me this last week and had a renewal coming up - worked !

yeah how did this end?
obviously the shark fin connectors were damaged, specifically that latches that hold the three coaxial connectors to those slip fit coaxial connector receptacles. a new shark fin at least was needed. and it is highlly possible the cable was damaged, but not certain.

Did anyone ever make a cover for the sharkfin hole? I would love to remove mine.
good luck with that. there is just a huge honking oval shaped hole in the roof. You would need a flap plastic piece, a few inches by a few inches, and a gasket.

Thanks for the help. I know there will be a hole, although it isn't shaped like the shark fin and is a rectangle that looks to be 2x3" or so. I am asking if anyone has removed theirs and fabbed up a way to fill and seal the hole.good luck with that. there is just a huge honking oval shaped hole in the roof.

Resurrecting this thread... installed a Front Runner Slimline II Low Profile roof rack on my 2015 LX 570 which required a shark fin delete. Since I couldn't find a replacement online, I took the liberty of 3d printing one out of Carbon PLA. If anyone is interested for $50 (shipping included), PM me for more details. Have a solid day folks.

I just installed some new wheels and tires on my wife's 2017 LX570, and it won't clear our 6' 6" garage door without putting the car in LOW. Would this fit a 2017 LX?
You can always install it and just drive really fast into the garage. It should fit at least once. I give myself a dope slap....
I hope you get it working... Congrats on the new wheels and tires! 
You still selling these for $50?
How much for the STL file?
No… I’m asking for $40 with free shipping. The installation takes longer than expected (a hour).
