I do have an option for you but a 2016 Jeep Patriot is not exactly considered to be an off-road vehicle therefore they don't make any custom mount light bar kits for it. If you wanted to add lights to your roof without having to drill into the roof itself then your best option would be to mount some pod lights on a roof basket.
In order to do this you will first need a roof rack if you do not already have one. For this, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System part # Y00421 and part # Y00421. For a cargo basket, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07070 with the Light Mounting Brackets for Yakima Roof Rack Cargo Baskets part # Y07075. You can then add lights like the # MT80637-2.
I wish I had a better option for you but the above will serve more than one purpose.
