Aerial signal strength

I made my own Aerial to replace the standard motorised one. I bought a signal booster to go with it but the signal has never been very good.

 

I saw a post ages ago about linking your aerial to the heater elements in the rear window to make the aerial surface area larger.

 

Can any one point me to the link as i cant seem to find it.

Wouldn't mind knowing how to get better signal also, bought one of them stubby aerials and it's useless

 

Me 2 mines useless appart from a few areas and the signal isn't strong enough to tune any stations lol

 

+1, and my aerial has been wired into a power supply for the amplified base too. I remember vaguely searching about this and there's a coax cable from the rear screen. Could you just get a coax Y-connector and merge the two cables that way? Someone wrote the screen is less for FM and more for MW too? Might still be worth it if it gives any gains.
