AM/FM antenna?

[sacman]

The signal on my radio, especially the AM stations, is getting weaker and weaker. Driving through highway overpass, I lose the signal intermittently. Where is the antena for the radio in our car? I know the shark fin antenna is for Sat Radio but I'm not sure if it's the same for the AM/FM radio so I can clean it up. Thanks.

GTIs with digital radios have their analog antennas on the rear window glass.
One AM/FM and one FM only.

Thanks for the info. Where and how do I clean it so I can get better reception?

Most reception issues I have seen on those antennas come form damaged defroster grid wires. I have seen tape damage the grid lines when it is removed. I have seen them damaged by solvents used in cleaning. They can be repaired. Inspect your grid lines for damage.
