By my 4" brass caliper (I had to zoom out three times) the peak is 45% of the length back. I believe the template has it at 30-some %. aerohead?

Modifying to a Ridgeline-style bed eliminates the retractable-in-flight feature. The peak would be a good place for a light bar.

edit: I tried again with a thumbnail on Youtube and got 42%.

2nd edit:
I watched a few more videos. The tonneau is a tambour that stores behind the rear seat, not over it. So the roof peak is an affectation.

It does have a light bar in the peak.
