Interesting... my radio reception is crystal clear. The tints shouldn't affect the radio reception as the antenna is "outside" the tint layer.

Go to Radio Shack and get an FM antenna booster. It goes in between the antenna wire and the radio. I don't have it on my car, but I have had them on other cars and they seem to work.
