Aero roof bike rack.

I was thinking of building a roof rack for my mountain bike. I would like to accomplish two things.

Be as aerodynamically clean as possible and protect my bike.

I would like something similar to the aero roof storage shells you can buy. If I pull the seat, pedals and front wheel, I can can get everything into a space roughly 10"x33". I would taper it at the lead edge where the turned sideways handlebars would be and I only need a few inches of height.

Has anyone done anything like this? It would fit nicely between the roof rails of my Jetta Sportwagen.

Has anyone built anything similar?

Is there such a thing I can buy off the shelf that isn't ridiculously heavy?
