I got bronze metal rear window tint and lost am reception. Most likely will be going on the rear fender.
AM needs a ground plate for reception which is why these were mounted on a metal part. Mounting on a plastic bumper isn't going to do much for you.

Also, car radios years ago needed a resistor tuned for antenna coax length. Haven't seen it mentioned for decades ( as after market installs as less common) so perhaps these are automatically trimmed now
