Doesn't that affect the radio antenna's performance?

since i have a 05wrx the antenna is on the rear windshield so it does affect my reception. it feels like i have 60-70% power of what i should really have.

tint is applied to the inside, so the atenna wiring should still be on the glass side... shouldn't affect it too much.

I have an 07 Legacy GT

All the legacy GTs have the same antenna in the rear windshield, and my reception still sounds unaffected. Unfortunately it might be just you.

in all of my other cars the tint did not affect my radio reception.....in the suby tho the FM is just as good as ever...but the AM sucks now....not that it was all that great in the suby anyways
