The radio antenna is imbedded in the rear window and when you turn on the rear defrost, the radio signal turns to static. I think this is just FM. First noticed after a recent repair to the roof/sunroof..not sure if problem existed previously. Is this normal?

Hi there,

This should not happen, i would be checking the radio earth and the battery earth and any body earths that may have been disconnected during any recent repairs, start here.
