Default 96 Accord EX stock radio reception

Original owner of a 96 Accord EX. The radio reception in my car is horrible. Especially the AM stations are very staticy and annoying. I don't want to rip the radio out and replace it, or put a real antenna on the car. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you

mine is perfect even with tints, i have no idea how am sounds and really dont want to hear the crap am has. mmm i see around they sell the antenna for 94 to 97 accord $50 and under , i guess u can add a atenna to the 96/97 also but i never seen one yet. one cool place to have a little antenna is righ n the middle like the place where they install the xm satellite radio antenna. keep it small and clean looks good.

AM is good for baseball games, talk radio and local traffic reports, except there is tooo much engine noise or just my crappy radio.

Who sells the little antenna?
