Weak range on the alarm fob

Weak range on the alarm fob
Does anyone know a fix for the extremely short distance due to the weak signal for the original fob?
So far I have changed the battery and it works the same and soldered a wire on the antenna thinking it might help with the range.
Unfortunately the fob craps out at around 4 to 6 feet of the car.
It pisses me off when I cant think if i armed the car or not so have to walk back across a road just to check, extremely annoying. Does anyone have any other fixes for this?

Do you have metallic window tint?

Yes I do have another remote and I did try it... They both have the same range maybe a foot if that in difference.
Is it possible that the receiver antenna in the car might be a little loose or a bad connection?
And the car is tinted with the stock tint that comes with the brilliant silver color, so I don't think that should affect the range.
Drives me up the wall. I guess another fix would be to install a after market alarm but I rather spend the money for something different for now.

Here's the receiver location on the passenger side:

Ah thats very helpful
I will pluck that unit out and see if there is anything loose and if it will fix the range a little bit i will post what I did.
And you are right it is the factory tint which allows around 96-98% of the light to come in.
