Hi
So I removed my stock roof rack from my 2013 LC. I replaced it with a Rhino Rack Vortex 3 bar system.
I think the bars a nice and fit well. I have an awning attached as well as I plan on running a RTT.
I ran into a problem with the rear bar. It is two inches above and in front of the shark fin antenna. This bar is causing me consistent lost signal on my satellite radio when I am eastbound as well as some cutout when I am traveling south. When I take the bar off my signal returns perfectly.
I spoke to Slee(where I bought them), Rhino Rack, Dealership, and Sirius. Slee and Rhino look at me like I am crazy and tell me they have never heard of such a thing. Sirius refreshed my signal, which did not help. The Toyota dealership service tech said he sees it a fair bit and that he personally had a problem with a rhino platform and interference on his Tacoma.
I know I can add an aftermarket antenna. I know I can take the bar off. I have searched and. It found much info.
Any ideas? Thank you
