Can I mount aeropod upside-down?

My winter bike is very busy with cables in the area under the bars near the stem, and I can't just move the mount a bit further out because the bars I use are only round in section right next to the stem. If I use an out-front mount it interferes with my front light which is higher priority than knowing my CdA. I'm also considering making this problem worse by using a cable-to-hydraulic converter for disc brakes that would also live under the stem.

With the mounts I already have I think I can only place it out of reach of the cables etc if I can mount it inverted - will it work OK upside-down?

Assuming that it works, would I need to build the static pressure hole at the back of the keel a little (open) hat/umbrella or something to keep the rain out, or would it be enough to just check it's clear from time to time?

AP will work upside down, but you're correct that you will need to keep both the wind and baro ports free from rain.
