I'm not too familiar with modding these. Can you drill a hole in one using a hole saw without cracking/destroying the window? Thanks

You can..be sure to drill a pilot hole first..try to use hole saw for bi-metal. These usually have more smaller / greater number of teeth which are easier to control than one's designed for wood applications.

I'd use masking tap over the area you are going to cut, it will keep the rest of the panel from getting scratched.

Yes. Lowest RPM you can.

Make sure the window is well supported. Don't try drilling the stuff with the window spanning a large space and bending.
