Thanks so much for the video. I just installed a 7 inch antenna with this as a guide. It is much easier installing the rubber grommet when the antenna bracket has been removed as shown. I had to carefully pry the inner sections of the grommet that hold it in place in order for it to lay flush with the body but once that was done it was easy to get it all back together. I didn't use the same wrench to remove/reinstall the bracket but my ratchet with a 10 inch extender worked perfectly.

Thank you, Donny. I used this video as a template to install a new bezel and re-adjust the height of the antenna base on my 2012 Toyota Sienna. Before that, I extracted a broken antenna piece stuck in the base after having watched your video about how to do that using reverse/left-hand drill bits and a center punch. Excellent how-to-videos like yours are the reason I love being a student at "KZread University." 1000 blessing to you and yours.

Best comment of the month, thanks for sharing!

Compliments on the video. Direct and to the point, as all instructionals should be. I’m replacing the antenna base (grommet) on my ‘16 Tundra Platinum and was looking for professional guidance and direction. Many thanks.

Thanks. Ordered the piece through your link. Easy to replace. Only 3 plastic clips removed and 1 bolt. Used a screwdriver with extension to unscrew bolt. 2014 Tundra. Just dropped a 9mm socket and left it at the bottom. Tried to fish it out but it took longer than replacing the base so I left it there.

Wow, just what I needed!! I have a 2007 Tundra and my antenna grommet has completely disintegrated!!!

Door an door ,trim tools work great for getting those fender deals out ,im watching this because i broke mine trying to put aftermarket antenna on ,an it smashed the rubber, so good video because it just saved me 15 20 minutes.

Great video bro, this just happened to my tundra, definitely helps switching it out, thanks.

Thank you so much for the info, it was a snap with your video tundra💪

Great video, straight to the point and I’ll link this to my Amazon review for the antenna boot!

Thanks for the great video as I had no idea how I was going to change mine! The only problem I may have is that I have fender flares installed that I will probably have to un-bolt. Thanks again!!

Great video and its so true about the antenna and the drip seal. I do my best to not go through automatic car washes.

My 2015 Toyota Tundra Limited’s Grommet crumbled. No need to do anything but take antenna off, cleaner wax the area and pop the new grommet back on! 20 second fix!

Thanks Donny. I just snagged a 2008 Tundra so I will be watching.

You made it a lot easier and faster for me. Thanks!

Great demonstration. I will tackle this project myself. Thanks

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

Thanks for the video...just changed the base out on my wife's '14 CM...10 minutes and done!

Thanks for the great instruction . It took me about an hour to make this repair. Everything went smoothly.

Perfect video for what I needed, thank you!

Thanks! Made the repair on my 2015 much easier!

This was very educational! I just replaced mine and was wondering why it wasnt fitting flush to the truck, now I know! Any videos on how to replace all that rubber all around the outside of the back window? Mine is shot!

Thank you for the great instructional video did mines took a while to take off the plastic grommets,but once off it's easy. Thanks 👍

Thanks for the video, very helpful, mine just parted itself out. True also for the reminder on the mast, I'm going to stick with the touch free car wash my antenna mast has made it to 15 years and 165k miles without snapping off.

Thanks for the video! Door lock actuators also seem to be an issue.

Well I just got through replacing the grommet and I guess this is one of those rare instances where neglect made something easier. The grommet was so deteriorated that it just completely fell apart on its on so I just screwed the antenna off, slipped the grommet on, screwed the antenna back on and..................presto, chango, it's a done deal.

Yep, this broke on mine funny thing is the radio worked just fine without it. I have a 24 Tundra now and they fixed that antenna issue.

I don't know how many of these you have done but I just remove the antenna mast and the old rubber boot. I slide the new rubber boot over the antenna base and into the hole in the fender, install the antenna mast and done. I haven't found the need to mess with the inner fender panel and unbolt the antenna base.

Mine broke on my 2015 Tundra in a car wash recently. I didn't know this was a thing, otherwise I would've removed my antenna each time. We didn't replace the antenna for a few weeks. In that time, the remaining thread inside there worked its way back out, enough I could get my finger nails on it to unscrew it. Luckily we didn't have to go through the steps to remove that. Well when my husband put the new antenna on it, we discovered the rubber bezel was split in several places. I just ordered the part! It's on backorder with Toyota btw with no ETA as of 8/30/21. Amazon had it for $12.99 after tax though!

That part is good Donny, but I am replacing the entire antenna, and as with your video and others, it doesn't show replacing it through to where the new antenna clips in past the firewall in the car. i see everything you did, but am still confused where to pull the inside apart to clip in the new antenna. My grommet is still in excellent shape even after many years. The truck is a 2007 Tundra Limited and I might add new condition. Just the radio receives zero signals. If you get a chance make one on the entire replacement. Thanks.
