Hyundai's poor radio reception

I once had a Hyundai Elantra with sub-standard radio reception like your readers are saying. My last vehicle was a Mitsubishi 380 with the radio aerial in the glass in the back screen and the radio reception in that was also terrible. The dealer replaced the wiring and the radio, but to no avail. The car had been tinted at a local tint shop, and when I went to them to see if the metal in the tint composition could be at fault they cut a very thin line across the screen that separated the tint and all problems solved.

From the number of complaints we have received about the radio reception in Hyundais it does seem it is below par. But at the same time it's worth noting that other things can influence the reception, like you say your window tint was, so it's worth checking for other causes, and not simply blaming the radio.
