That looks great but it is not going to happen. From an earlier post in the thread:

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.
So it will be nearly straight across just forward of the window line, and that little slice of template represents my planned profile shape. It was just a handy curve tool for me to use, since I don't have the graphics "chops" to draw up things like that on my computer.

That trailing edge is similar to what I had in mind.
