that car is OLD, i would replace the antenna, the whole thing, then
DO NOT EXTEND the antenna wire, move the the tuner!
ONLY USE OEM antenna, dont use anything from metra

i have a 2002 mitsu, and i replaced my antenna, and its was like night and day
over time the antenna ground, and the mast system becomes worn, and doesnt make good connections...

also... some amplifers produce RFI which kills recpetion
(BLADE is a good example)

oh a good test of an antenna.... is AM with engine running... is it clean and free of noise...

Yes its for my 95 accord and unfortunately it is in the glass This particular year of the car never came with an external mast. My tuner has been in two different locations.. the trunk.. and behind the monitor up front in my car. The difference is barely noticable. Is there anything i can place my tuner in that would reduce the amount of RFI affecting it? I did notice that when i had it in the trunk next to a boss amp i have the reception sucked unless i put my rear seats down. In its current location behind the monitor it works better but its certainly nowhere near as strong as the stock radio in my van is.
