They drilled the glass? :eek: It's likely an early cell-phone antenna. Or perhaps a mount for a VHF/UHF amateur radio antenna. It was probably done many years ago, before (through-glass) antennas were developed. :yesnod:

looks to me like the car might have had one of those cool sun louvers at one point, and the mounting tab is all that's left.

Yeah, but...if it was a louver mount there would be no UHF connector on the inside. But I have never, ever seen a window drilled to mount an antenna. That's :crazy:
