alright quick stupid questions i was thinking about....i have an 00 si
1. when i hit my power windows the driver will go all the way down by itself and the passenger i have to hold in...is there any mod to make them both go all the way down by themselves?
2. the radio reception in my car sucks, is there anything i can do to get a better signal besides puttin in a whole new antenna in another spot (my buddy's ex does the same) when i get into my old school 89 cavalier (dont laugh, its the daily driver) all the stations that are 'fuzzy' in the civic are crystal clear, even some stations that dont come in at all on the civic.
i know the questions are stupid, but just two tiny things that get on my nerves when im taking road trips.
thanx

1. go to a junkyard or look online for the drivers side window switch & wiring. Then install that on you passenger side. I'm not completely sure if tha'll work but it seems like it should.
2. On civics the rear defroster doubles as the antenna. I had the same problem, some stations were a bit fuzzy with the stock stereo. I put in a new head unit & speakers and now the reception is close to perfect. I know that this isn't a cheap solution but it's the only one I know.

if the rear defrost is the antenna than why is there one above my driver's door to pull out?

GM have the best antenna's i've ever seen. You get unreal reception with GM so that's why you get good reception in your cavalier. As far as your civic, you could get a window mount amplified antenna. I had that in my tiburon and i got stations from over an hour away. Those usually go for about $75 to $100. Not cheap but it's worth it

It mounts directly on ur window it's maybe 6 or 7 inches long but it has a main antenna box which is maybe 2 or 3 inches and then antennas coming out 1 on either side 3 or 4 inches. it's very small and compact. easily mounts on windshield, rear window, side windows (as long as they don't roll down) simple instal
