I noticed the new color matched one has a cut on the rear of the seal. My 2018 factory black one has a cut on the front with a inner straight flap of rubber to help keep water out. I took the 6 screws out and swapped covers to keep my original antenna hardware and seal. The cut on the front is the updated seal. I guess it makes since since the roof is sloped and water would gravity drain out. Of course it would get pushed in by driving and that’s why the inner flat rubber damn is behind the cut. That’s rad! I would love to pick one up, hows the quality? 2

I’ll use it a lot locks - unlocks and rolls down the windows also lights up at night when pressed Any idea if this keypad would work for a 2015? I found the listing for a 2018.

There is a thread or two about this (from a year plus ago) and i believe they said because of the bcm, it was not available for 2014/2015 models. I have a 2014 and it sure would have been real nice to get it. 1

Bizon14 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I got a new color matched sharkfin antenna on ebay. Was $17 shipped. I noticed the new color matched one has a cut on the rear of the seal.

Of course it would get pushed in by driving and that’s why the inner flat rubber damn is behind the cut. I've thought about doing this but I've seen enough people with leaky roofs online and decided not to mess with it unless it's needs to be replaced. Unfortunately I have a 2014 and I'm assuming the previous owner didn't replace the antenna so I probably have the only style seals. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

doubeleive Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 added the true-cool 40k, before I added the cooler I had already deleted the transmission thermostat, with the thermostat in place originally trans temps were 190-220+ almost always, deleting the thermostat dropped it down to about 170-190, adding the true-cool dropped it to about 155 after a good little workout, just cruising it was 122-135 ambient temp was about 75deg took me a little while to get it installed this is a universal kit, it was simple enough to just pull one pipe, cut it and flare one end (discovered I don't really have skills for flaring) then fit a hose over it and clamped it, ran the hose thru the plastic, used the supplied brackets with a little bending and cutting, not all professional but it works and should remain trouble free for many years. I installed it to work in unison with the factory cooler, I did trim a couple small pieces off of the shutters for clearance even though the shutters are disabled by blackbear if I have to put the tune back to stock then it wont give me any problems blocking the shutters from working. It's only letting me upload 1 picture for some reason.

I haven’t seen mine gone up more than 150-155 driving around with 70-75 degrees ambient temp. Before the thermostat mod it was about 180-190Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s currently 67 out and my trans temp haven’t pass 127 yet. Been on the freeway for about 25-30 mins now. Good post tho. Now I know what I can do if I’m not happy with trans temp once I install my S/CSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
