The supports featured on the Bonneville Civic could rest against the lid, or under it, without adhesives or drill holes anywhere. Cool pics, btw.

Oh! And aerohead, thanks for the tip on the tape... I'll check it out for sure.
Have you considered attaching a spoiler using commercial suction cups to test your design? Here is a link to one particular brand, many are available. Industry swings plate glass through the sky with these things so I feel that following reasonable cautions and a safety strap you might find them useful.
