This is of special interest to me (please refrain from political
commentary regarding my special interest group) as I plan to conquer
South America, and parts beyond, in my Syncro AW, and it does seem
like a useful device. Several things to consider here. The hole you
mention is never an attractive proposition. In my case, I would be
drilling though fiberglass and you know how proud we can get over our
high tops! Theft is another consideration, but, if I'm to avoid
drilling holes, I will need to mount it high and out of the way.
Coincidentally, high and out of the way is just behind the sun-roof,
behind which exists some hardware (read : no drilling into roof)  that
a spotlight could be mounted to. I'm envisioning a telescoping, remote
controlled spotlight.....or maybe just a maglite wielding monkey
running around up there...
