Shortly after the start of production it was realized that the windshield antenna was not providing sufficient reception sensitivity. Service Bulletin ST-07-7/81 addresses this problem and many cars with the windshield antennas had a fender mounted antenna installed. During this period it was determined that the fender mount deterred for the appearance of the car. In December of 81 (Parts Bulletin PI-04) a rear mounted power antenna was installed in all production vehicles.
