If I could find a flexible solar panel that was a long rectangle in shape....I'd RTV (silicone caulk) it to the top of my Focus and hard wire it into the system by running a wire across to the door opening.

A solid one like I have now COULD be used...just would need to fashion some wood blocks to make it conform to the complex shape of the roof....and keep it to the back.

I once mounted a custom made (DIY) set of louvers to the rear hatch window of a 280ZX using silicone caulk...stayed on there for 2-3 years at least...till I sold the car. It was made of wood and alum strips. The wood was treated with thinned varnish to seal it.

RTV of a certain kind is what is used to mount rearview mirrors to the inside of your windshield.
