Is your roof flat or does it have the hump at the top? Is your antenna base 5x6 or 5x9cm?

FYI - It's not a peel-and-slap-it-on part like most think or most do. Here's some good instructions from a relaible website/source:

Fitting a Vortex Generator might seem a bit daunting, but it’s fairly easy - there are a few things you need to be aware of when fitting...

Try to do it on a hot day, the adhesive on the 3m tape bonds much better on a warm roof - if not possible, try warming gently with a hair dryer - I'm not advising a heat gun – that’s your call and your call alone.

Also take a LOT of care when lifting the roof and window trim - the clips break just for fun (and to annoy you!)

1. Wash the car - you dont wanna drag crap over it while you're doing it...

2. Remove your aerial (Evo 7/8/9/10)

3. DEGREASE the roof area thoroughly. Get rid of the wax and polish you spent hours putting on. I use the Halfords Industrial Wipes.
4. Dry fit to ensure a perfect fit.
5. Now, I removed the sticky tape protective stuff,
6. Now, CAREFULLY with the help of your assistant, fold it back to its correct place.
7. Before you actually place it down, visually check to see if it's going back into the right place.
8. When you are CERTAIN it's in the right place, press it down, and apply pressure all the way along everywhere there is tape.
9. Go round a few times to ensure it's fully pressed down.
10. Aerial back on (Evo 7/8/9/10), roof trim back on.
11. If you are able to weigh it down with something (protect the paintwork first) for a day or so, all the better. I wasn’t able to, So I just didn’t drive the car till the next 24 hours.

Job done.

Now,
Dont drive the car fast for 24 hours if possible.
DONT wash the car for 72 hours. If possible try not go get it wet at all.

Remember,
Degreasing is of the UTMOST importance. nothing is gonna stick to 40 layers of polish and wax, EVER.

By the way, BUMP for a damn solid product. Ordered a PB one to match my gloss black roof, put it on yesterday. I am a STICKLER for fitment, and must say I was impressed. ZERO gaps, ZERO distortion, roof humps fit flawless, snug as an OE piece. If I were wearing a hat, I would take it off.
