damaged shark fin antenna 2015 Tacoma

Totally wrecked my shark fin antenna, local dealer cost me $750 canadian for parts and install, need help

 

Welcome to TW! Posting pics would help, what happened?

 

Thanks. Hit the garage door, wrecked the whole thing.

 

Consider yourself lucky?

Or look to ebay to replace. I don't use mine but do understand keeping your truck to what it should be. No help from insurance?

 

Yea lucky enough it's the only damage. Not sure what it really is for other than appearance. Radio and gps are working fine so I don't understand why that expensive. Can't find replacement parts anywhere

 

maybe a replacement like this?

Is it possible to just remove it completely if you don't use XM anyway? Unsure if it is just throwing it out there for a potentially cheap solution

 

Huh, I didn't realize that there was a GPS antenna inside of those things

 

Thank you guys. Considering all these options

 

Did the cover get ripped off? I'd check a local salvage yard since it is not a wear and tear item I'd have no problem installing a used one off a totaled truck.

 

Yes it ripped and cracked.

 

In the meantime you should cover it with plastic or something so that the electronics don't get messed up if it rains
