I can't lift the template up or move the kammback forward without undergoing serious body rework.
The roof is immediately too steep. Not ideal. I get that and have figured a single piece design that will mount to the hatch and hit the roof a couple of inches aft of that antenna.

Looking at sharky, what I have in mind is a nice curve here to go with the rest of the body styling. I don't have the paint skills to draw it. Use your imagination and tell me what you think of that. I was thinking a nice curve from plan view as well, resembling a receding hairline of midlife crisis :P

Sawtooth or shuttlecock, if you prefer.
