Adding antenna to rear hatch glass?!?!?

My secondpower antenna from GM just dies on me and I'm getting kinda sick of it lol. Also I am going to be repainting my car soon.

Is it possible and are there any kits for running the antenna on the inside of the hatch glass with the defroster like on newer cars like my Camry?

Thanks!

Note; the performance of any of those type of antennas will be a clear compromise vs the standard whip ariel.
However, if you drive mostly in areas local to the radio station transmitters, this may not be an issue.
If that's the case, about the easiest solution I can think of is a glass mount antenna like this . . . http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2102468
