The part that clips over the bar that grips the mount on the fairing needs to be adjusted. The outer 2 should be closer to the bar. The inner 2 should be closer to the front of the car. There is also rubber pieces that fit in there as well. It will sit a tiny bit off the roof on the outsides. I think it's because of the contour of the roof.

The hole closer to the bar. I'd show you on mine but it's in my garage rafters.

This is what the outer 2 should look like.
