Hello all...

I'm working on a 99 Alero with really poor FM reception... As you probably know the antenna is in the back window....

If this needed to be replaced... how would I go about it???

A little note on the car... it's a stock system.... so any other thoughts on the poor reception are very welcome...

Thanks In Advance!

Mike

just go get a cheap fender mount antenna and tie strap it under the rear deck , cant be any worse than a window antenna. i did this on an accord coupe i had and it was better than the window antenna. just be sure to ground the base to the car . we do this in boats too and it works great.
