I had the same thoughts of using the mounting straps for a 'removeable kammback' before my trip.

Part of the idea came from a metal luvor kit that I Put on a fastback car in the 80's. The top part was hinged so you could clean the glass under it. The hinge wedged under the glass trim to keep the top attached.
todays cars dont allow for something to be wedged under the trim.

THe bike carrier would certainly provide some rigidity to attch a frame to.
