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.
