Default stereo static

I had my heated windshield replaced a couple weeks ago. Now the stereo has static and poor radio reception. Can the new problem be related to the replacement?

Yes, yes it can.
They may not have hooked the radio antenna back up when they removed the windshield.
I think that the antenna is in the windshield.

Thank you Spike555, you were exactly right. The hard part was getting the problem fixed.
Within 2 weeks of the original repair, I had contacted the dealer who replaced the windshield and they said there was no way the replacement would interfere with the stereo. I contacted LR customer service and the dealer eventually agreed to check it. When I brought the truck in, they denied hearing the static. WHen I suggested they have the receptionist listen, the manager relented that there was static. After 3 hours, they said there was no problem resulting from the windshield. LR customer service said if another dealer located the problem the original dealer in Westchester would pay for the repair.
I had to take a day off to go to another dealer. They looked at it for 10 minutes and fixed the problem. I contacted LR customer service to get the repair paid for. After 6 hours of waiting, they told me to pay and I would be reimbursed. 3 weeks and 4 phone calls later, I finally received partial reimbursement from the original dealer. I spent an extra $500 to have the repair done at the dealer; they wasted three days and could not fix their mistake; only issued partial reimbursement and no apology. This is why I will never use that dealer again. BTW, the dealer that fixed the problem (NJ) could not have been nicer or more efficient.

It is all in the dealership. Not all dealers are bad. I love that we have a great dealer here, and would suggest them to anyone near Tulsa.

I just purchased my Disco and hear the same staic. I just thought the head unit and speakers were crappy and was planning on replacing them. Can i just pull the head unit out and check to see if the antenna is connected or is it more involved than that?
