WTF? Then there would be no reception! This isn't the old days when there were windshields that had the radio antenna inside the glass.

In my stang the volume control is the gas pedal. Keep the radio off and enjoy the sounds of the car you love.

Or if you must... buy an amplified antenna and stick that sucker behind the dash. when I had my car painted I told him to shave off all the antenna's (ssp car). It looks so much cleaner.
