I noticed today that I was having a hard time connecting to radio stations and discovered the black screw on antenna on my roof was missing. Looks like someone swiped it. Anyone know how to get a new one? Do I have to get it from my Toyota dealer. I have a feeling my dealer will charge a huge mark up on the part.
You could just get a sharkfin antenna from here on Priuschat from the shop. It screws onto the part you have left and then fits over the existing base. Here's a link: PriusChat Shop : Toyota Prius Shark Fin Antenna - $82.00$78.00 Still may be as cheap as you were hoping for but if you have to pay either way, this is a way to look different...
Post a wanted ad in the Private Sales forum. Lots of us have the sharkfin and would be happy to unload the screw on antenna for free or at a nominal cost to cover shipping.
I bought a short antenna on eBay for 13 bucks shipped and it works awesome even 40 miles away from the big city. Mike Mobile on my SGH-i717
You've got options..... I'd take it as an opportunity to upgrade to a shark fin. Less likely to get swiped in the future, and I think they look better.
