Look into buying an aftermarket power antenna.

Metra makes one that you can mount on the windshield.

This isn't a bad idea.

Most of the time the antenna is routed from the head unit through the driver's A-Pillar. Attach a thick wire to the end of the antenna before you pull it through, and check if everything looks good on the antenna, and/or replace it or upgrade. Attaching that wire is critical when you start pulling it though though, or you will have one BITCH of a time fishing the wire back down the A-Pillar into the interior.

I've used this antenna with good results.

Metra Part # 44-UA200 | Aftermarket Antenna | Metra Online

Mount it on the windshield behind the rear view mirror.

Amplified antenna is the best solution
