I think the stealership is trying to rip me off! Although the Antenna motor works and the Toyota parts guy told me that it is generally an easy fix that requires an inexpensive piece, the service dept. want to replace the motor, which is around $275.00, lots of money.
Does anyone have an idea how to remove and reinstall the motor from inside the fender? I have a 2001 Prado VX 5 Door. It appears that this can only be reached from under the car, a stupid design if you ask me. Aomeone has already mentioned that I need to take off the mudguard, which is no big deal, but then what comes after that? Do I need any special tools to remove it?
Why the heck couldn't they just install a wire antenna in the windshield is beyond me. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
