That's why I was specific with the model number. Apparently, they were trying to go to a more verticle look to mimic an A/C unit and they didn't get it right, yet. The repair guys that are next in line have dealt with this before and say that they have a permanent fix. We'll see.

So my brother bought a 2002 Toyota 4 runner for my nephew, he didn't notice until the other day it doesn't have an antenna. (can't even remember the last time a car had one!) Since the radio seems to be working just fine he wanted to cover it somehow, to keep out rain dirt etc.

He used a steel casing from a 7.62 x 39 round and coated the bottom with some leak seal to create a quasi gasket. (dipped and dried a few times)

Voila! :lifter

Ok, that's officially cool. :cool:

If that thing was a fired case, it is going to rust like you wouldn't believe.

Just my .02, as always, YMMV.

Thanks TR, he said he coated the entire casing in a rubber coating. (leak seal) Hopefully it will last for a while. He has more. :D
