2000 Toyota Solara Antenna Parts Q&A

• Q: How to inspect and repair the glass printed antenna on 2000 Toyota Solara?

  A: The inspection of glass printed antenna should involve cleaning with a soft dry cloth that moves along the wire path while keeping wires intact but using only gentle touch and avoiding all detergents and abrasive glass cleaners. You should wrap a finger around the aluminum-foil covered tester stick tip to perform this procedure; check for continuity by sliding the stick along the antenna length. The matching module exists as an integral part of the glass printed antenna bus bar positioned at the main terminal end of Camry Solara thus preventing terminal-antenna electrical connection. When testing the main antenna side of Camry Solara for continuity put one probe next to the bus bar while using the second probe to inspect the length of the antenna. To carry out repairs begins with cleaning broken wire tips followed by application of masking tape on both wire sides before using a mixture of grease, wax and silicone remover. The repair agent (Dupont paste No. 4817) needs thorough mixing before obtaining a small amount through a thin brush tip. Take off the tape after waiting for several minutes.
