📻 Runmade 2011-2014 Sienna Manual Radio Antenna Base Bezel: Compatible with Toyota 86392-08020 Review

Happy to finally replace the broken connector around the Toyota Sienna antenna. I didn't give 5 stars because I just installed it so I don't know about durability. Installation is impossible without boiling in hot water as other people have pointed out. Even after heating it was still a bit difficult to get the plastic lip under the hole. After that it was done. I was happy with the results.

Our original antenna housing broke and some of our favorite radio stations wouldn't turn on when the air conditioning was on. We bought this as a replacement. We put it in boiling water for five minutes, and then immediately put it on the antenna and on the base. With just a light push on a pair of straps on the boot, it snapped into place perfectly. Now my radio works great again!

Frame looks good Thicker material and should be easy to assemble. The S-seat doesn't just slide over the antenna tip and down to the fender, where it pushes against a hole in the fender and snaps into place. This was slightly larger and did not fit in the hole in the wing. Partially entered but not complete. By force, he goes most of the way, but does not sit down and sticks out of the wing.

On this item. 2012 Toyota Sienna owner Warmed it up, used Dawn and Windex as lube and ended up having to open the wheel arch to get enough pressure under the antenna to deploy it. The outside diameter was smaller than the OEM, so there's a mud ring from the latter and a lip that's too big to fit the hole in the bezel so it's not flush with the body. 2 stars because it's cheaper than OEM and it's the right item. Next time I'll spend the extra money on a Toyota product.

The antenna cover is made of a very hard rubber-plastic material. I tried several times unsuccessfully to fully install the boot into the fender before warming it up as recommended by several reviewers. After 5 minutes of boiling in water, the boot is much more comfortable to handle, snaps in instantly and looks just as good as the original equipment. The part is expensive for a small stamped component but worked as advertised. The manufacturer should recommend heating before installation.
