Some covers had a fixed mast antenna option that was "field installed" where you would melt/burn a hole in the cover with the tip of a soldering iron and then iron on the "sock" for the antenna. I did one like that but the next one I bought I just burned the hole in the right place and called it good. 
You have to manualy feed the antenna into the sock and it was just as much trouble as feeding it into a hole. The sock looked bad to me personaly.

I just bought a cheap little wrench and when i put my cover on I take the antenna off and put it on the finder in a towel and put it on when I take the cover Off the towel and the little wrench lives in the manual box in the back.I store my 75 with the cover Off but its inside.

When I put the cover on my '75 roadster, I unscrew the antenna and put it inside the car. I got a threaded cap that fits the antenna screw and had it chromed. I put the cap on to protect the threads when I put the cover on it - in the garage of course, to keep the dust off it during the bad weather times here in Jersey.

Works for me... It covers two cars and a couple of dogs too.
I looked for one with a hole and finally picked up a budget brand from the local autozone store for $69. Works well for me.
I took the antenna off, put the cover on it, marked the exact spot where the antenna stands and cut a hole.
