Fitting flush on the roof - soft rubber seal all around.
Carrier arms to be fixed to the sides, not the bottom.

Use the carrier's front to recapture the air overshooting the windshield / roof transition - not overly blunt, say a bit blunter than the top half of the Yakima box that Cd illustrated.

Top and rear, template ending in a Kammback at say 70%.
