I have a similar looking one in the UK - and that does work through glass
(or at least some types). For example it gives the same reading through my
glass oven door as with it open (checking the oven thermostat). But things
*may* be different with some types of glass designed to reflect the sun's
heat.

I'd also say that looks a high price for these things - perhaps because
it's sold for automotive use. Check Radio Shack or Ebay etc for the same
thing - in the UK 25 gbp is a guide price.
