Down side is the aerial got critically damaged! And has now fallen off!

A)How easy is it to replace the electric aerial, and...
B)Where can i get one from and how much....?

Cheers

(put a switch on so you can put it down and still have the stereo on)

Ask for a replacement aerial for a 4Runner at your local Toyota dealer.

When you get the replacement it will have a long plastic strip hanging out of the bottom with gear teeth on it.
Undo the hex at the bottom of your broken aerial and get someone to switch the radio on. The whole lot will wind out with a little help from you. Insert the new aerial into the hole, the same way round the old one came out. Get someone to switch the radio off and the replacement will feed in. Do up the retaining nut and thats it until next time you forget.

I "customised" mine on the garage door!

Then I finished it off at the Pit.

I got a replacement "Generic" electric arial on Ebay for �9.99 & fitted it using the top (outside of car) bits from the old Toyota one. Took about 1.5 hours to do, no problems.

Cheers,

Steve.

What type of ariel did you get from Ebay as I have the exact same problem. Have you still got the auction number so I can see a pic?

Cheers

I installed a bee sting aerial on the roof at the front of the sunroof. No need to worry about bushes now - �12.99 from Halfrauds.
