Radio reception poor on Civic?

I have a 2020 Civic sedan with the 5-inch screen (not touchscreen). I've noticed that the radio reception doesn't seem to be as good as in my previous car. Is this a known Civic issue and can it be remedied? I can't even figure out where the antenna is on this car.

One thing I noticed, FWIW: I washed my car and the reception seemed to get a bit better, though still not great. Maybe my antenna got clogged with pollen?

It is not. There's no fin or anything else on the roof.

Interesting. That would lend credence to my theory (which I thought was a joke) that pollen was messing with the reception.

Is there any way to boost the reception?
