Antenna Corrosion

Hello everybody, found something interesting today after I washed my truck.. A pretty insane amount of corrosion, I removed a bunch of it already. The rubber cover was completely full of it

Has anybody else ran into something like this? I guess the seal failed and a bunch of water got in. Unlucky for me

 

Looks like something to check regularly for those in harsh winter areas.

 

Will definitely have to now! my second Tacoma and I’ve never seen this before.

 

Yes. It's not all that uncommon. Most people never know it. as it's "hidden".
