Yeah, the metal tint helps to create a "faraday cage" - it blocks out incoming singals. you have to remeber that an AM signal is an amplitude modulated signal which means that is picked up by your car's lines in the glass window- the metalic tint unifies all of the metal lines, and it cant pick them up very well....
