Default HELP!! Before i take my Jeep all apart!!

I am replacing the stereo in my Jeep and am having issues with the antenna wire. The antenna broke awhile ago so I have decided to replace it now. The problem is I can't find out were the wire goes. It wont budge at all when i push or pull both ends. I have practically tooken the whole dash apart. Would the wire run behind the glove box?

Well if you can't seem to trace it or find it why not go on amazon or ebay and get a hidden amplified antenna and hook that up and put it along the top of your windshield
