Nope....No hole. Just grab a good hold of it and rip it off. Both sides of course. It just transmits through the glass.

Not quite an insulator lol

That'* the idea. It'* not suposed to conduct.
Without getting too technical, because RF transmissions are a sine wave, the signal passes through the glass because of the capacitor-like properties of the antenna.
This is a very basic and typical schematic of an antenna found through a Google search. C1 is a capacitor on the antenna input. This is essentially your window.

Alright. I will quit arguing.
Electronics are fun.
