Shark fin scraped up

I noticed my shark fin is pretty scraped up at the top of the fin.

Anyone know how much this would cost to repair or replace?

just take it to paint shop to repaint it. Shouldn't cost that much.

Yep, but I'd definitely remove it myself and just take the part. The issue is HOW (or where?) to pry it out safely. Hopefully somebody can chime in with instructions buddy.

By the way, how the heck did it get scraped? Good luck man.

I'm curious as well. A non-touchless car wash by chance?

Heat up the front of the shark fit area with heat gun.
Slide dental floss between roof and fin. When you take about 1/2 way you can carefully remove it. Then use goo-gone to clean up the sticky mess.

That's what my buddy did when he did the roof wrap.
