There is no problem drilling into the pop top.  It is very
strong and the best cargo rack company in the u.s. makes a
rack for fiberglass pick up shell tops.

I had at least 200 lbs. on my rack on dirt roads and sand
dunes where suspension bottomed out a few times.  I can
stand on my rack no problem.  Everything has to be tight,
though, or damage will be done.
