Hey guys,

I got my rear glass tinted a year ago and I lost antenna after that, I'm wondering if I can repair it of replace it with a shark fin ?

any idea guys ?

thanks

They probably shorted it out. Personally I'd try replacing the antenna module with one from a wrecker.

Check fuse #8 in the trunk, if it's good then most likely your rear antenna amplifier was toasted. I just recently got my C55 re-tinted and forgot about this common issue, had to cough up $600 for a new one at the dealer cause I couldn't find the correct part number online but I got my remote control working again to unlock and lock and radio back. I bought 2 online with different part numbers not knowing and no luck. Those numbers really have to match. Good luck.

Yup, happened to me as well, antenna amplifier needed to be replaced. Pretty sure it was not because of the tint, as it worked for months after the tint was installed, but eventually crapped out.

As my son's C320 only has 68K original miles and is a 6 speed manual, I had it fixed to keep the car in top notch condition.
