if this is some kind of antenna, perhaps you should post in the audio/ICE forum where the audio geeks hang out and would give better answers.

Why a shark fin? To imitate the BMWs and Audis? The pre-made ones on eBay are simply a piece of plastic, it is not functional as an antenna.

Time for a new girlfriend.

Additionally, typically "shark-fin" type antennas are designed for satellite frequencies, not AM/FM. I'd look into getting an AM/FM antenna - relatively cheap and can (in theory) be placed on the inside of the car.

OR, just replace your non-working one with a working one
