Antenna no longer working.

The headliner was falling down in my '16 trd or, so the dealer replaced the whole headliner which involved removing the windshield and completely replacing the back 3 windows. Now my shark fin antenna no longer works. No clock, gps, weather, or HD radio anymore. Im just really frustrated with this piece of shit, tons of little shit like this is falling apart on the truck. I am very surprised and disappointed with Toyota and this vehicle.

 

What do you want us to do about this?

 

Turd gen bitch and moan thread??

 

Replacing the headliner does not require to change windows. Either you're not telling us everything or you're really not smart

 

Headliner and the cardboard backing was pulling away from the roof right about the drivers side back window (access cab). Since at that point, the headliner/insulation/backing are all one large form fitted piece, removal and installation required removal of the windshield and rear windows. Dealership did all the work because the headliner was defective and under warranty.

 

I have never had to remove any glass to remove a headliner, but I haven´t removed a headliner in a new Tacoma, so who knows. Anyway, it seems like a connection came loose from the antenna, take back to the dealer that did the headliner work and have them fix it.

 

This.... right now, it sounds like a dealer problem and not a Toyota problem.

 

If that happened to me I would trade mine in without a doubt. Been waiting for a reason but my little 4 cylinder runs like a sewing machine. (And it is paid for)

 

FSM shows headliner install via the doors, not the windshield...

Fortunately you had a dealer do this work. If we know the relevant details of this story, unfortunately they're inept. Find another dealer. This is not a Toyota problem per se. It's a shitty dealer.

OA

 

While you are at it, I might would take a water hose and run along the windows to make sure they got all that sealed properly.

 

I can dig it

 

Maybe the dealership is retarded

 

Now, now, we don´t use words like that around here. Go back and delete the word ¨Maybe¨.

 

I live in the Pacific North West. if the window seals were leaking, id have noticed. But good thinking!

 

I've never heard or seen a modern vehicle having to pull windows to replace headliner. Chances are a tech can pull some trim and plug your antenna back in
