I'm currently doing maintenance on my antenna on my 2002 4Runner, and in the process need to take off the wheel wall. There are clips that seem impossible to remove, before I break something I wanted to ask the experts (you guys).

Thanks!

Do a search for Tacoma whip mod via this method:

Should be able to find a thread detailing how to take everything apart.
 
before I break something

Thanks!

Go ahead, break them. Better yet, cut them. Then buy new ones and replace. The fasteners are cheap, and it is impossible to address them effectively in order to remove them for reuse. They muck up an easy repair. They should be available at your flaps.

Next, put in a toggle switch on the lower left side of your dash, and wire into the antenna so that it does not raise/lower with every turn of the key. Deploy it when you need it.
 
Are these the clips you're talking about?

If so they are almost impossible to get out without breaking them. I ordered a similar set (from China) that worked fine. The ones in this listing are in the US (maybe, never know with Ebay)



You sir, are the mvp of my life. I had just started resorting to breaking them off, really needed a place to get replacements. Thanks! +rep
