I have seen on scoobys the shRi type fins that go across the back off the roof, what are they and where do I get them from?

Thanks

Do they actually do anything or are they just for looks

Looks.... they need to be well glued on though as there have been more than a few reports of them flying off. I was considering them but they're a bit 'evo'....

I dont think sticky pads will be up for the job, but who knows.
I would be going down something stronger route.

If you're planning on keeping it on permanently then I suggest using Tigerseal, it will never, ever come off.

as i said mines been taped down for over a year now plenty of high speed runs 120+ and no problems what so ever just make sure the roof is very clean. i heated the roof with a hairdryer first placed it on and pressed it down firmly across the front and back use foam tape not pads and keep an eye on it over the next couple of days to make sure its well stuck

i would use the same tape/pad that is used to stick the rear view mirror on.

Once on you almost have to break the windscreen to get them off.

I`m looking to get one of these also, BUT toying between this...and...

my advice would be tape isn't strong enough. Im only in this thread cos mine flew off somewhere on the m4 yesterday. All i have now is about 8 pieces of sticky pad on my roof.

Joseph2104

meant to ask where do you get them? mine was on the car when i bought it but do want to get another one .

I just went on the vortex generator website and ordered them
. Cost about £20, iv just used the sticky pads that came with them.

Joseph2104

any chance you can put up a link. ive been looking for about 6 hours now and all i can find is either ones from japan or usa and both about £150

for £20 i would imagine it's the individual stick on fins theres some on ebay
