Radio antenna

The antenna doesn't mount in the hood, so, why is that an issue? Am I missing something here? Fiberglass fenders are a different story. The earlier cars required the antenna to be grounded. Not sure on your year and model. Try running a temporary ground wire to the antenna housing to see if that helps.
I have tried to research this. Apparently the fiberglass hood somehow created some sort of interference with the radio. Since my Duster has fiberglass fenders, and the radio didn't work when I bought the car, I want to be reasonably sure that the fiberglass fenders won't interfere with the radio I'm planning on installing.
