Have you got roof cross bars fitted? They sit 2” over the shark fin.

I think there is a 'slight' possibility that the rack is not quite as high as the bars

I've tried to get a snap from powerfuluk's video on rack fitting and here's the best one that shows the rack height versus the sharks fin.

Is that 2 inches?

Should get rails or rack fitted perhaps to protect shark fin. Did kill it first time at about 3000 miles. Repair cost would have paid for the rack... But with 2 more inches it wouldn‘t fit into my garage any longer...
