From: Michael Golden on 21 Mar 2010 19:36 Pardon the on-topic post. The base on the antenna is evidently broken. The part the antenna screws in to is floating loose inside the housing. Has anyone had this happen and do you remember how much it was to fix? I'm thinking a car stereo shop might be able to replace it cheaper than the dealer...

Seems the factory antenna is good until you go through a car wash that uses bushes. It depends on what part of the antenna broke as to what will have to be replaced. Here is a diagram of the parts and the costs of original equipment. http://www.toyotapartszone.com/2008/86-04-1839-toyota-yaris-antenna.html
