Weren't they intended for trucks with a big squared off rear face ?
There's be no re-attachment their either.

The upshot for you,is that your car has the beginnings of a really good Breer/Fachsenfeld/Kamm roofline.If you were to just extend what you have using the Aerodynamic Streamlining Template as a guide you can enjoy some real savings at the pump.
At least the boattail and extended Kamm-backs are proven mods.

So far , no-one here has been able to proof Airtabs / VGs reduce the fuel consumption.
