    The little plastic at the base of the antenna broke off at some point and wanted to see if anyone had a replacement part that they recommended I get. I noticed that the antenna also comes lose often, so if you also have a suggestion as far as a new antenna goes I’d appreciate it. I noticed the thread part isn’t straight anymore.

    This is honestly the most difficult part to remove from a tundra.
    Has got to be some kind of Christmas miracle.

    Also, a car wash will do both to mount and antenna.

    @War Machine may delete his suggestion if you’ve been doing the car wash thing.

    Make sure to get the genuine Toyota antenna grommet. I bought an aftermarket one on Amazon first and the material it was made of was much stiffer. It would not install correctly and I ended up punching a hole through it trying to push it into position with a screwdriver even after I applied some WD40 to make installation easier.

    Not sure what part we are talking about here. My stock (2017) antenna has a hex section on the bottom that screws onto the threaded stud that sticks up from the antenna mount on the fender. This mount seems to have a rubber boot over it. I believe it has been this way since new. All seems to work, so I am trying to understand what this issue is?

    OP initially asked for the rubber boot/ grommet. Then, a few posts later also asked for a suggestion for a shorty antenna

    The rubber boot tends to dry out and crack over time.

    Good for you..

    It's a noted common issue.
    Probably more with vehicles parked outside 24/7 in extreme temps for a few years..

    If it hasn't happened to you I'd guess you're a lucky MF'er..
    Congrats..:thumbsup:
