Well FM still sounds pretty good, it is only a little bit worse. FM is usually much more sensitive to bad reception, especially with stereo channels. So if the antenna was disconnected or damaged, I would think the FM would be inaudible. However because it is mainly AM that is not working, my guess is that the tint must be grounded to the car some how and is absorbing or interfering with the AM signals. And yes I do listen to AM all the time for news and traffic in the morning and the talk radio shows in the afternoon. The AM station that I listen to is located only a few miles away downtown and always came in perfectly clear before I got the tint.

I called the tint place and they said to come by any time and they would take a look at it. So hopefully they will offer me a different kind of tint.
