Thule roofrack fairing on 200aq?

[Benjamin Weste Pearre <ben@marimba.com>]

My '90 200aq has those avant roof rails.  Man, I wish they used the 
same system as VW, with the flat roof that has a basically invisible 
rail that you can hook a Thule rack into...

Anyway: so I have the Thule rack, and I want to mount the Thule 
fairing to reduce the howling tempest that rages above my head.  But 
the fairing wants the forward-most bar to be within 15" of the 
windshield.  The closest I can get it is about 19 or 20".  Are there 
any sneaky things I can do to get the fairing on?

* What if the fairing doesn't reach the windshield, but rests against 
the roof 6" back?  This is ugly.
* If I could extend the mounts for the fairing, would it still do any 
good?
* Is there some clever way to mount the forward bar further forward?
* Is there a way to make the roof rails reach further forward?

Washed/waxed  the car last weekend.  Must've been the first time in 
many years.  Lookin' good, and it seems to have mostly cured an old 
shoulder injury that just needed some exercise!
