Review on Antenna Ornament 2007 2014 Toyota Tundra by Warrick Dembo

This is a great looking and solid replacement at a much lower price than the original part. Toyota calls it an antenna ornament, but a trunk or socket seems like a better term, so I call it a trunk. This aftermarket antenna housing fits my 2010 Toyota Tundra Limited perfectly. I also installed one on my 2007 White Tundra a few years ago and it's holding up great. The secret to an easy fit and a perfect fit is to boil your new boot for about a minute to make it more flexible. Here is the process and it takes about 10 minutes or less from start to finish. First unscrew the antenna mast from the truck and set it aside. Remove any old antenna covers and throw in the trash. Unpack the new cover and place it in a microwave-safe container. (I used a measuring cup) Add enough water to cover the boot. Microwave for a few minutes or so until the water boils. Leave the new shoe in hot water for a few minutes and then drain the water. It will be a little hot, but not so hot that you can't resist. Squeeze some clear silicone grease onto your finger and apply a thin coat of clear silicone grease to the inside and outside of the boot, except for the part visible above the fender. Position the cuff so the inclined side aligns with the wing and insert the cuff into the hole and over the antenna base. The shoe should slide in smoothly and the threaded hole for the antenna should be visible in the center when looking down. The trunk should be flush with the fender at the bottom but will likely protrude slightly beyond the fender at the top of the trunk. To lock this in place, push from the edge of the boot toward the center and press against the surface of the wing so the top "snaps" into the rim of the hole, keeping it flush with the surface of the wing. Do this along the edge of the boot until it is snug around the entire perimeter.
