Horrible AM/FM radio reception after tint

My work car, a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, was just tinted. It has a rear glass radio antenna and I'm sure they must have used a tint that has some metallic elements in it since the radio reception has tunred to garbage. Is there anything I can do (other that removing/replacing the rear tint) to help rectify the problem? Is there any after market antenna I could use that would help?

I found this suggestion on the site. http://www.tintdude.com/totw92.html Do they mean that I should cut all the way across the film from edge to edge?

Any help you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated!

Yes, but don't try to do it yourself. Take the car back and let them know about the problem, maybe show them that page if they aren't aware of that solution and let them cut the film.

If you cut across that line on the window, it won't work anymore and it's pretty easy to cut while doing this.

FM reception shouldn't be affected by tint. just AM.

He didn't specify AM or FM so I assumed he was talking AM.

Nope, its both AM and FM that are bad now. Stations I used to pick up clearly on FM I now can't hear at all. And of course my Sirius radio uses the FM as well, so now that has poor reception as well...

it's in the title dude.

i thought sirius antennas were mounted on the outside of vehicles.

Oops just skimmed the title, still, I chimed in because I didn't want to see this guy try to cut along the line himself.

yeah that would be bad.....i don't even wanna see my rookie installer do that.

i garrantee that the tinter didnt plug in the antenna wire after he was done....

check inside the top of the rear glass. theres a lil botton mounted to the glass...somewhere tucked up in the headliner, theres a wire thats no attactched to anything.... plug it in... problem solved. theres no reception on both am and fm because theres no antenna

that would of been my geuss, but the second geuss would be to look for cut lines where he trimmed the film on the inside if he didnt know it was there untill after it was installed "i hope not?"

winner winner chicken dinner

Poke your nose around the top of the rear window for an unplugged antenna

that is a big back glass, but theres no "professional" reason that window shouldnt be tinted in one piece. nothing that makes me feel better about my skills than seeing a pieced back window from a "professional" tint shop.

what i meant was he might of trim around the connection and hit the line at the contact, cutting the lead to the antenna?

yea i understand, but still.

one time i tryed pull the connection off, and yanked the entire botton off the glass... had to get the alarm guy to fix it

my buddy did the same, but we soldiered it back on so yea its repairable

jeff ima get a video made of me laying a door like u got on your page. i want you to see how differnt we are.

that would be so cool of you, i do my side doors alittle different than bg's... im am going to also post a video of how im removeing a mustang rear view mirror. "the suicide clips are easy doing it the way i do..." you read the post on the mustang broken windshield that is waY! too funny! i have a mustang on the book for tuesday, i hope its the harder on and not the easy one?
