Description
This was made up in Tinkercad. Dimensions of the plug are 15.7 mm x 21.4 mm with top curved corners having a radius of 3 mm. I made the middle plug 2 mm taller than the base. The plug fits perfectly and snugly in the hole. (Ignore my ugly print example; I'm having issues with this filament.)
The shark fin antenna is used for SiriusXM only. There's a bolt on the under side of the trunk that can be unscrewed and the shark fin lifts straight up/out at that point, possibly requiring a little tug. The cable to the antenna needs to be unhooked halfway down the underside of the trunk. With the shark fin removed, the entertainment system will show a prompt to check on the antenna so keep it plugged in and stowed away somewhere. I zip-tied it to the trunk lid but others have re-routed the cable and placed it inside the trunk. You might also need to polish your trunk after removing the shark fin as there can be left over marks on the paint from it.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $17.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $18.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $18.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $18.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $20.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $20.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $21.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
