If you'll pull your radio and follow the antenna lead going to the windshield antenna, you'll see that it goes into a little black box that sits just under the dash, next to the fender in the passenger side footwell. The box is held on by 1 screw if memory serves me right. Take it out and take it apart. You'll see a solder joint where the middle wire on the antenna lead connects to the circuit board. Heat it up with a soldering iron to resolder this joint and you should see an improvement. I also bought a cheap preamp signal booster at Auto Zone (about $10 and placed it between the antenna lead and the radio. Wire it so that it's always on when the ignition is. Did wonders for my reception. You can tuck it behind the radio before you put it back in. Good luck.
