How is radio antenna wire routed?

My AM_FM radio didn't seem to get a lot of stations compared to the one on my car so I installed a new one. It gets slightly better reception but it is still not as good as my 11 year old Nissan. I figure I might have an antenna issue. How does the wire get from the roof to the back of the radio? Is there a way to test it with a meter?

Mine, (older and gas) comes across the roof to the windshield post on the drivers side and down and out into the dash area. Had to cut out the fabric covered plywood on the upper storage area to get to the wire run.

Mine was just like your was. I was able to pull down the section to gain access to the base.
