any way to improve radio antenna?
ALot of the stations that came out crystal clear in my other car come in like shit in my type-s, I do have tint but i did not tint the dot matrix, so i dont see why my repection is so bad. Anyway to fix this problem? Can i add a small radio atenna on the rear window near the dot matrix to make it better?

The dot matrix is just for glare reduction. the fm lines are the lines just above the defroster lines so tinting or not tinting the dot matrix will have no effect.
Go to track auto, pepboys or radio shack and get a fm signal booster for like 15 bucks.

but if you do buy the fm booster suggested above .. let us know how it works out. cuz I'd definitely be interested! I hate the fact that I cant get chicago stations till about 10 miles west of south bend ... I am thinking with a booster, I might be able to pick em up here!

But my results have gotten better after 4-6 weeks of tinting.
right now, its not even noticeable anymore.
so its a very slowwww process of sticking
