Good idea, but I would pad the cord/wire with some kind of cloth to keep from wearing the paint.

I've used a small bungee cord with a hook on each end, works well.

With the hatch open and driving it has a venturi effect sucking exhaust fumes into the car. Keep the cabin windows open if you want to live.
