Anyone else suffer from this problem? Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks!
I have the same problem on my wife's 325 ci c. I think it's because I have the antenna wire coming up through the gap in the back of the trunk lid. I just got a new XM antenna and wire from ebay, and this time I'll install it with double sided tape on the left rear headrest so it doesnt flex. I'll let you know, but l'm pretty sure the cable which is VERY thin inside the insulation has probably broken down and so I'll do an inside install and avoid the flex. It lasted over a year though...
