If you are not in a hurry, you can get them fairly cheaply at H and A accessories. Here

I keep a spare - just in case!

Wow, that sucks. I haven't read about that happening over in this area until now - now I have to worry a little. Anyone here put loctite into their antenna? I may have to consider that now.

As for replacement, I bought one from H and A years ago, but I would look into hardtopguy. Whatever he carries normally has the best prices.

Sorry to hear. Stupid thieves.
It's unfortunate that the S2k antenna is so popular with other cars. People talked often about them on the Celica boards. They screw right in, no modding necessary.

Time to bust out the LocTite.

LocTite is supposed to work, but then you risk having the jerk damage your car while trying to get it off.

Might be a trade-off!

I use the red thread locker. It might come out but I think it would take a little effort.
