Very bad FM reception

I had to replace my rear window on my 2009 Yaris, and immediately after it was replaced the FM reception was TERRIBLE, as compared to before the window was replaced....I suspect that the installation of the antenna connectors is bad, or it is the wrong rear window.

Ideas?

If you have a sedan, the antenna is supposed to be integrated in the glass. Check to see if the glass people forgot to plug the connector back on.

Had similar issue when i had my windows tinted. Since the tint was a semi metallic cause about a 50 percent loss in reception. Thinking of having just the rear window tint removed and use a ceramic tint
