I've checked the wiring from the roof to the connector (note, my antenna is not mounted in the spoiler, it is on the roof). My wiring is not pinched by the hatch.

Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?

My guess is a bad antenna, but I do not see how it can go bad...It's just an antenna and it is sealed at that, correct?
Perform the following steps:

1. Remove battery cables, negative first
2. Touch battery cable terminals together (away from battery) for +5 seconds, a small spark is normal as this is stored power draining from the system.
3. Allow cables to remain disconnected for about 5-7 minutes
4. Reconnect battery cables onto battery, negative last.

Let me know if these steps correct the problem
