You might know in Brazil swamp-coolers are popular among truckers, and are usually mounted in the roof of the vehicle. Nowadays there are some low-profile models which don't decrease the aerodynamics so badly. And, unlike a regular air-conditioneer, a swamp-cooler works better when there is a higher air flow thru the cab, no wonder many users get weathershields to keep the windows a little open while using the swamp-coolers.

Anyway, since your car already has a hole in the roof, it might be even easier to adapt a swamp-cooler
