How do you think of my idea?
My real problem is how to install the antenna and how to lead the signal
cord into the cabin without any scratch on my car.

Well...I would use a gel battery not acid to avoid the chance of spills. There are also nice hatch mounted antenna (Maldol makes one) that won't scratch.
MALDOL CP-5NMO Universal adjustable lip mount, 16’ 6” deluxe cable assembly with NMO/PL-259 connectors. Quality appearance and low loss coax cable assembly. Installs easily in only minutes to virtually any lip on a vehicle: Trunk lids, truck rear doors, SUV and van rear doors, hood lip, etc… Does not damage expensive and/or leased vehicles.
Mount adjusts in 4 planes. The first 18 inches of coax is mini RG-188A/U type allowing easy entry through the weather seal into the vehicle without causing wind noise, water leaks or coax damage. The coax balance is low loss with NMO & PL-259 connectors. The PL-259 connector disassembles for easier routing or to shorten the coax length. Soft rubber pad protects the vehicle paint, 4 large set screws hold the mount firmly in place.
