crappy FM reception after rear end accident

Im gettin really bad fm reception after my ML was returned from the bodyshop from a rear end collision. Everything is plugged in but the reception is just horrible.

Rear end collision cost near $5000 in damage.

bumper, rear hatch and glass was replaced.

any advice?

I think the radio antenna is embedded in the rear window glass. The antenna connector may not be plugged. To see the connector, you may have to pry the plastic trim around (in side the hatch) the rear window.

Body shop connected one of the wire wrong. I had to open up another ML's rear gate interior panel to trace all the wiring.

found a power wire was connected to the antenna contact
