The antenna is in the back window along with defroster wires of course, a common occurrence was that the defroster had some broken elements along with the interference.
Do you have broken elements, does the defroster work at all? Maybe the wires/elements are shorting out somehow.
A poor ground was also suggested.
This the area in the 2004 Service Manual that touches on these two items.
8A - 24 AUDIO - SERVICE INFORMATION
