Broken Antenna
Hello fellow Yaris owners! This is my first post :)
I have a 2009 Hatchback and unfortunately the antenna broke off (half). I see on eBay I can buy a new one in the $5-20 range. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy one and what kind? Also, can I put the new on on myself or do I need to go to the dealership? Any idea how much they would charge? Thanks! Chip |

Well I got my replacement stubby antenna from stubbyantenna.com I don't have a pic of it installed on this PC but I got the black 'J' pull-out style for $13 shipped. I think it looks really good, personally, and the reception is fine. They have full size antennas there too. Any ways, I hope this helps, and Welcome to YarisWorld!

The antenna simply screws on and off, so unscrew the one you have an install a new one (making sure it is the same thread pattern!).
A few folks have actually trimmed their stock antennas down to the base, something you may want to consider... |

Maybe it's covered under warranty.

The antenna unscrews....so when I go to the car wash for the 1st time I can easily remove it so it wont get caught in the machinery? Im wondering how that thing holds up in the wash!
