I thought about some kind of springs. Perhaps leave the bolts proud and have some wavy washers or springs so it can push off if contact is made. Your idea is a bit more steathy but the leverage effect would require lighter springs. I just wish it were easy to put a lip on them or bend out a lip.
I also thought of using some neoprene weather stripping which would seal the gap and create some padding there in case of deflections but I doubt the adhesive would last. Cheap to try though. It would allow a larger gap too without sacrificing aero.
I just thought of a possible way of slightly flattening/flaring them which may or may not work. They are a bit "deep" and may add to the frontal area. They could be sandwiched and compressed evenly. They might buckle though. Hmmm.
