FM radio reception sucks

My Forester was delivered with a Jensen stereo unit.

The FM reception/range on it is terrible. Stations that I can pick up nice and clear on my regular truck radio - like 45 miles away, won't come in on the Jensen. I crawled under the dash today to make sure the antenna was plugged in. It was but I unplugged it and plugged it back into the stereo anyway - no improvement. Would replacing the antenna mast with a longer one help or it just the nature of the beast with the front overhang blocking radio signals?

Mine works way better than the one we had in Solera.

Capt Skip...that is a very common problem in these trailers...very poor antenna on most of them...ours has trouble picking up some stations when parked right on our driveway.
