Sounds to me like you are missing your antenna. You shouldn't have any holes in the car at all. The antenna is centered on the roof just above the backglass. you should have something resembling a shark fin with a wire comming out of it. The way our antennas attach is there is one screw that holds the antenna to the shark like fin. When I get home tonight I'll see if I have a pic of my antenna to post up here for you.

Try to trace your antenna wire from the stereo all the way to the antenna itself. From my experiences with other cars at work, there may be a joint somewhere that could have come loose. Also, it is possible that you have a bad connection at the plug. You could take it to a stereo shop and most will be able to put on a new end.
If it comes right down to it, you can either remove the antenna (best idea) or drop the headliner and see if the connection at the antenna base is loose or worn.
Worst case scenario, you should be able to order a replacement antenna from a shop (not OEM) for about $20 and then put it on without too much trouble.
Hopefully it is just a bad connection that is easy to get to.

Hey guys, thanks for the ideas, what happened was some kind of weird, just before i was going to the stereo shop, i reset the unit, and voilá... i lost all my text inputs for the stations, but is working fine since then. Just weird things... By the way, my stock HU was a sony unit (wich su...s). Thanks for your time guys, sorry about that.
