What is the flat wide bracket on the right with the SR-Q?

I'm looking for options for top mounted rear facing lights without a rack and have had no such luck.
 
Hauled a door that I was fully not prepared to replace. Ahh... the joys of home ownership... But ya gotta love that rear window!

Hit tincup pass in Colorado. Had two guys in Heeps tell me to turn around because they hit bottom. No way I was turning and did not hit bottom once. Sorry did not get pics of the hardest spots concentrating and using my crawl control.

Oh god, Ill I can think about is those bikes flopping side to side as you drive over the rocks. Do you get any side to side play in those mounts?

I am trying to decide whether to go hitch mount or roof mount on my new to me 2010 sr5. I have a yakima roof mount on my wife's forester at the moment, but it secures the bike with the tires, rather than the skewers or through axle. The rack flexes a ton if there is any body roll, like pulling out of a drive way.

Actually, the thru axle is pretty solid. Coming down, I was driving pretty fast and it's secure and solid. I don't recommend the non-thru axle as there's more flex side to side. I used to have the high roller,like the convenience but not as solid. Would never take it to theses trails. The only downside to roof is its kinda of a pain to mount and dismount unless your 6'2" and taller. I'm still planing to get the 1up bike hitch mount, they should be a lot more solid then my holdup 2
 
so anyone have any input on if I can get this buffed and repainted or do I need to replace the rear spoiler since its plastic?

the left side that is scraped does seems a tad bit loose compared to the right side, but its still solid.
