So i'm gluing things to my car now?
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 29, 1999 (Philadelphia, pa United States)This is kind of a follow-up on my review of the cb radio I bought with this. Again, this was more of an installation hassle than I expected. If you buy this you just need to realize it means permanently gluing an antenna to your window. . .

Typical installation
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 5, 2003I have installed numerous antennas and they are all a hassle to snake through the vehicle. Glue has its disadvantages but magnetics on fiberglass doesn't work. Performance is about what I expected, short range, but then most of the time I'm looking at the vehicle I want to communicate with and it works just fine.

Midland glass mount CB antenna
(4 out of 5) by J. Adams on Jul 7, 2005I have had this items before, in fact this is a replacement for one that was mounted on my motor home. the windshield had to be replaced and a new antenna was needed. Works fine, just like the one before. A very eash purchase and fast delivery.

Very poor performance
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 5, 2000Quality is OK for antenna, but design just does not work. Glass mounts just don't provide any xmit power. GO magnetic mount. You'll be much happier.

Some things dont cut it
(1 out of 5) by Ricardo Winez on Mar 13, 2007 (Sparta, NJ)This through the glass unit performed well enough for my needs as I am only looking for local traffic tie-up information of close-by autos....the problem is that it will not stay on the windshield....I am on my third unit in an attempt to get it to stay on permanently instead of a few weeks....the first one was put on by professional installers of all my 3rd party electronics ... have dealt with them for years as they do excellent work...it fell off and was lost after about 10 days....the second one I put on myself...and followed the directions to an exact degree....including the heating of the glue with a hair dryer for 4 minutes....cleaning the windshield as directed etc etc....using silicon to seal the unit further...this one stayed on for more than a month and then fell off and was lost....the third one was supplied to me directly by Midland at no charge, much to their credit....I havent tried putting on the third one yet because of the weather...I have my fingers crossed....would I buy this again....definitely not.....probably no through the glass units from anyone else either...............
