Not the way I do it. Just attaching a metal edge panel to the roof of a car doesn't work, it's already been tried. It increases drag so much that the car uses more fuel.
Forget putting a panel inside the vehicle being behind glass, it cuts panel current by 2/3. It's a waste of time and solar panels.
I don't know how big the roof on your car is but up to 200w of panels isn't out of the questions. Laying flat they produce about half of name plate watts.
