Yes I was speaking of the prius-esqe roof line and windows. It looks like they took the the back of a prius and used a can opener to it so they could raise the rear end of the roof and slap a window in there (the triangle window that points forward) to fill in the hole. Thus fitting more seats. And yes they need to remove the roof rack. Or perhaps that's the reason. "The roof rack wont work you need to straighten out the roof more in the back."
