WIndow Tint

Does anybody have any problems with antenna reception with tint on the back window? I want to tint the windows but I want to make sure it won't do anything the reception of the radio.

I've noticed a slight degradation in AM reception. I have LLumar 32% tint.

Good question...

On my A4, there has been no change in AM or FM reception. The tint I used is Formula One Premier (metallic), 35% sides, 20% rear. I used the same tint on my A6, and there is some degradation in AM reception. So I think if you use a metallic tint, you may have some degradation or you may not...
