Radio Antennae Location

Looking to try to improve FM reception in my 05 DB9. Is the antennae in the trunk lid or the windshield? My sound system is killer but the FM reception is abysmal. Might be ok if you are parked in the parking lot of the radio station. I don't need any comments as to how your reception is great because I live in a fringe area but it still shouldn't be this bad. Has anyone made any favorable modifications? Another pos installation by Linn........yuck

Your antenna is behind the trim carpet on the trunk lid. It's a sheet style Mylar with copper grid and 2 tiny amplifiers 1 for AM 1 for FM. You could have a bad connection or amplifier fault.
