    The antenna bezel (rubber grommet) the antenna comes through on the fender is rotting away due to sun exposure on my 2011. Does anyone have experience replacing the bezel? Can I pull the old bezel off and then slip the new bezel over the antenna and into the fender, or is it a pain to replace?

    It's not too bad. Mine wanted to be a little stubborn.It goes exactly as you described. My 2007 with low mileage sat in the carport just about all the time yet it rotted away as if it sat outside all the time.

    Replaced mine last summer, super easy to diy. However, I removed the plastic wheel liner enough to access the antenna from behind the fender and swapped.

    Get the OEM Toyota one. The one on Amazon doesn’t fit for crap. You can put it on over the antenna and slide it down. Put some lube on it.

    It was super easy to replace. Mine broke apart as I pulled it out. I sprayed some aerospace 303 in the hole of the new one and slipped it in place. No big deal. You will have to check, but I'd bet that is the same part number for your 2011 and I bought it on Amazon.

    It's called an antenna ornament... :wave:

    Uh, no, but just order OEM. No telling what you get with aftermarket

    I did mine a while back, on the same color Tundra even. It was pretty stubborn, so I had to use some lithium grease.
