Default Any suggestions on this broken part?

This was much easier than I thought. The problem I have was right at the beginning. My 2003 RX300 with 250,000 miles has seen a lot of weather. The bezel (black plastic trim piece) where the nut you loosen with needle nose pliers is cracked beyond repair. I already have my replacement antenna, but does anyone know where I could get a replacement? Thanks!

Easiest and most reliable, the dealership. Try a Toyota dealership and see if they have it.
Otherwise, found this site...
