The biggest problem with the thru glass is grounding. Do not depend on the negative battery connections to make a good RF ground to the chassis - which is your ground plane.
Buxcomm.com has a good selection of mobile ant and accessories. Don't forget the balum ... - because of the ground plane issues - Bucks balums make a huge difference - vhf & hf.
The hitch receiver is a good solution - I use a quick disconnect to remove the antenna when in a high theft area or to let me in the back doors.
