DAB Radio losing reception

850gle · Jan 3rd, 2023, 13:04

I have a 2018 V40 Cross Country T3 automatic which I bought from a Volvo main dealer last summer.

Since the weather has turned I have had trouble with the DAB radio reception. It always says 'no reception' even in a city listening to the BBC.

I lost it today but happened to notice when the rear heated window timed off the DAB reception returned. I experimented and found that switching the rear heated window on and off means I lose DAB reception.
I have taken a closer look at the elements and it seems there is a break where some sort of sticker was removed before my purchase- there is a clear outline of an old sticker.

Is the DAB related to the rear elements?

Is this something that can be repaired other than that ugly metal paint? I can see it being my word against the dealer regards the broken element.

thanks
