The only correct way to use the template in a side view is to align the ground planes in both images, scale them so the roof has the same height as the template, then move the template left or right to align the arrow with the top of the roof as you did.
As the template was made for a flat bottom vehicle, it I was thinking that the additional curve on the underside would allow for a scaled-down curve (which would be quite helpful for this application on this short car).
