[s-cars] Car stereo antenna - Roof mount better than in glass?

[Mtgadbois at aol.com]

Chris,
 
My in-the-glass antenna works just fine.  However it didn't  always work 
well.  The previous owner had the windows tinted and  the AM and FM reception was 
crap.  I was contemplating the same as you  but I was going to go further and 
drill a hole in the fender.  Instead I  removed the tint and the reception 
improved dramatically.  You may have the  same problem.

Gentz,

I've  always believed that in glass stereo antennas didn't perform
as well as  "normal" body mounted antennas.

I've been unhappy with the reception of  the stock radio/antenna
in my S4. Now that FM1 wants to work as AM, and while  attempting to
adjust the volume the radio will cut off I'm contemplating  a
relplacement system.

SOOO

Will replacing the in glass  antennas with say a "fuba" roof mount
antenna provide better  reception?

Also is there enough space behind the sunroof to install  one?

Thanks
Chris
Tired of tapping da volume  control!
