02 Tundra, the base of the antenna is lose and I just want to tighten it up, causing a weird wind vibration noise at hiway speed ( I think thats what it is anyway). Need some sort of $3 antenna tool (round 4 prong male) that Toyota doesnt carry, any ideas on how to do it besides having to make a appointment for somebodyelse to do it for me? Ive called some auto parts stores and they dont have a clue as to what this is.

If you are still under warranty, take it to the dealer. The 00-01 models had a TSB out for it. It's TSB #AU002-01. It could be the same for the 02 and up models. The 00-01 antenna holder was weak and broke. Hence, the loose antenna.

Anyone with TIS can get them for you... I have the one for this problem but the puny attachemnt restriction prohibits me from uploading it.

If anyone wants to host it I'll send it to you- PM me with your email.
