defogger line imprints during tint installation, radio reception performance will be reduced and/or static noise will result.
Butyl Sealer -
The rear glass window is held in place by a butyl sealer. This compound is conductive enough that it can negatively affect reception conditions if it
touches the glass antenna or the rear defogger imprints. If any part of the butyl sealer is touching the imprints, carefully cut the excess butyl sealer off the
rear glass. Be careful not to damage the imprint as an open circuit in either the glass antenna or the rear defogger imprints can result in poor reception
conditions.
Electronic signal received by the antenna reaches the radio through the core wire of the coaxial cable. Any noise mixed into this wire will cause noise in
the radio. In order to prevent this noise from mixing into the radio, the core wire inside the coaxial cable is covered with a mesh wire called a shield wire.
This shield insulates against noise by transmitting noise to ground (through the case of the radio). If this shield wire has a poor ground, noise may result.
Choke Coil
The proximity of the rear window defogger and the glass antenna imprints allows noise to transfer on to the antenna easily. A choke coil is connected to
the rear window defogger circuit to eliminate the noise in this circuit.
