    Just wondering if there are any link for video or written instruction to remove the sharkfin antenna?
    I installed my Wolfbox rear cam on the license plate that works great.
    But if I can move it next to the antenna it will be even better to cover the blindspot.
    I just want to remove the cover to see if I can get the camera wire thru the roof along with the antenna wire

    What about a crowbar?

    Look at eBay for same antenna...it shows one bolt holding it down and fastens from underneath. Think you will have
    to pull down your headliner to get access.

    Thanks,'found the photo on ebay in case anyone needs reference.
    Looks like there is hook clip on the bottom that you can unhook to separate the antenna unit and then cover. Problem is is on the bottom so we need to remove the nut first taking out the whole
    thing.
    I was hoping if we could somehow take out the cover without removing the headliner

    found this shark fin antenna replacement clip for Rav4. Should be the same for Prius
    Looks like there is no spaces left inside the cover for camera wire.
