Son's 850 wagon has no antenna and reception is less than on his S70. Is there an antenna for these wagons and if so, where is it located?

Thanks,

dick

    Wagon antennae are imbedded in the rear quarter glass. There is an amplifier below the driver's side window, I think.

    the antennae is the trace on the left side, rear glass. (it looks like the traces on the tailgate window for the defroster) i think there is a connector just below the plastic trim that could wiggle loose.

    good luck.

        Good morning. Check the copper lines in the window and see if any are scratched. People with dogs in the rear area have had troubles with claws scratching the lines. You can use a rear window defogger repair kit to repair any broken antenna lines.
