Re: Through The Glass Antennas
I have not used those specific antennas but have used threw the glass antennas in the past and they all worked ok.
I think the problem would be your particular car. All of my current vehicles have all sorts of stuff embedded in the glass.
heaters, compasses, dimmers, thermostats and who knows what else.
That stuff might interfere with the antenna and even worse the rf might screw up the eclectics of the vehicle.

My experience has been glass-mounts are okay on 800 MHz, marginal on UHF and lousy on VHF.
