Me too. If I can find the time for my Kammy, I will have some kind of layer that stops the air from sneaking under the kamm. I have "unique" problems because my hatch on my Saturn is plastic, but my roof is metal. I am thinking that I can use a flat magnet sheet on the metal roof that "bridges the gap" onto the Kamm back. The Kamm-back would have a thin metal strip epoxied onto it for the magnetic strip to adhere to. Here is a *rough* visual of what I mean.



The sides would require a different solution, but I am not too worried about them because they are very "flattish", so I know I can get a much tighter seal on them.
