it's xm and onstar antennas combined. there is a hole in the roof if you remove it. if you're not going to use either there isn't a problem to remove it that i know of other than having to fill the hold properly.

I would prefer to not have it but I dont pay much attention to it.

What would have been really smart is if they put it in the front-center instead of the left. Then it would look like a mohawk! :)

i have thought the same thing, but at the back of the cab on a truck or rear of a hoe/yuk.

you cant remove that! Its an air fin that prevents roll overs! ....lol

Just a note: I have heard that car thieves will rip them off if they steal your truck and then Onstar has no way of tracking your vehicle.
