I think it will work great and you will have a lot of fun! Those hatch lip mounts are very popular for the same reasons that you just gave. It's not the "perfect" installation position, but who cares? It will work fine and if it gets you on the air, then it serves it's purpose.

Sounds like a decent setup to me. Those K400 mounts are great. I use a pair of them on my vehicle's rear hatch door's vertical edge. One supports a Comet CA2x4SR dual band VHF/UHF antenna and the other even supports a homebrew HF antenna without a problem.
