Well, search and ye shall find... I just discovered this. Got the tint done yesterday.. a modest NC legal level with just a hint of reflectiveness.. Looks rockin'! on the galaxy gray. This was a standard Lumar brand tint done by a good pro here.

BUT... Instantly AM reception now completely stinks and FM is also somewhat affected.

I agree AM isn't a gazillion channels of Sat radio, but it does serve it's purpose for the local channels.. If SAT provided this, I'd never look back but just install it.

I wonder what can improve the reception now?
I'd hate to pull the rear window tint just for a few local stations.
Is there a possible antenna improvement or upgrade of some kind?
