She ripped the sat fin only? Wow. You should consider yourself lucky she didn't scrape the whole roof on the garage door or crushed it!

The fin on the roof houses the sat radio and GPS antennae. Nav won't work until they're properly reconnected. And yes, you're lucky that's all that she damaged.

Hmmm, stock, there seems to be more to a portion of your thread you're not telling us .

yes - as others have said, that fin contains the GPS antenna...

was the garage door lower or something - how do you get the car in and then rip the fin off backing out? plus, the car is really low to begin with...
