I have a 2002 deville base and my reception absolutely sucks. I barely get any stations and the ones I do get come in and out when I'm driving. Could the antenna be screwed up or is this a flaw in the vehicle?
Also the radio is the stock radio but Idk if it's been replaced

=============================
there are actually TWO antennas -
one in the windshield - one in the rear window -

there is a little plug at the top right of the glass -
check that those plugs are secure -

not too difficult to knock them loose/off while cleaning the glass -

Has the reception ever been good? How long have you had it?
If its a car that you've recently just purchased I'd pull the radio and see if the antenna is connected. A lot of these cars
had FM modulators added and then removed when they sold it. They don't always reconnect them properly. Hopefully
if that is the case that they didn't mangle the original antenna connector.
