Thank you for all of this. I will check out those links. I would like to have a mount up there that I could just leave and have power run up there permanently and when I wanna pop the unit up there I can. I won’t need it up there seven days a week, but I just want an easy solution that’s not going to let it get stolen and it’s going to be secure.You would check this link, there are several suggestions.
A few of those are easy removable.

Another good option is the Sherpa mount, expensive and maybe not the best option if you need easy removal, but sturdy.

I’m still using my custom 3D printed enclosure designed to mount on a 8020 frame rack. Best option for a permanent mount in my opinion. The mounting concept is similar to Sherpa and Strikerfab and even in case of loss of torque, still keeps the enclosure mechanically locked in place.
I recently went to a trip with a rental car so I mounted it with magnetic mounts. Regardless of what other people say about magnetic mounts, they worked flawlessly driving at 80 mph completely exposed to air flow and wind gusts. So sturdy that I needed prying tools to remove them from the roof.
I’m attaching a few picture so you get a sense of how low you can go without the risk of scratching the roof. The total depth is 55 mm.
Other options are suction cups, better if piston operated. I tend not to trust those anyway, long term they leak air so you are constantly wondering if they need checking. It is a good option for slow driving, camping, quasi static use.
