Did you ever think that the mic was too sensitive and picked up his breathing? Grow up and appreciate a mechanic willing to help you for free.

@Jason09101994 lol @ the static

[Jason09101994]

@Jason09101994 I bought a new antenna, removed the glove box and the antenna connection is right there. I plugged in the new antenna before trying to install and it works great. However without finding ANY tips on the internet about, video or written, where to drill to bring the new antenna wire into the glove box compartment, I guess I will have to wing it. Wish me luck!

I wish I could find a video on how to install a NEW antenna where you have to drill holes. My Buck LeSabre has one of those crappy antennas mounted in the glass on the back windshield and the reception sucks bad, plus every time I turn on the rear defrost I get static in my radio.
