Default Radio reception

I am looking for a way to get better FM radio reception in my monte. I get some stations really good but other ones come in really bad. almost everyone else i know gets the stations very clearly. but i cant get them in this car. i would rather not put another antenna on my car i like the sleek no antenna look.

It's one of those things you will just have to deal with if you aren't happy with reception. Our antennas are actually in our rear window, and they are notoriously crappy with picking up stations.

I am also unhappy with the fm reception. my fav station is about 40 miles away and never had a prob getting it before the monte. now it acts like it's on the very fringe and the static makes it useless to listen to. I guess i'm not ready to drill a hole in the fender and run a mast up but maybe somebody has heard how to improve the window ant. please post

some places sell aftermarket antennas that are hidden. some stick above your rear view mirror. some you can put anywhere. such as hide it in your dash. check ebay or other sites. if you still have your factory radio you may need an adapter because im pretty sure they are for aftermarket radios with the bigger antenna plug. if anyone knows anything about these please follow up.
