I had the same problem originally - about 4mm gap between car roof and left rear cover. The cover itself did not look like it could fit well. See the picture - the part that was supposed to lock the cover in place was not moulded properly. Its "tooth" missed a sharp edge, and the block it sat on was bent inwards slightly.
A replacement cover was shipped to me within 2 days (thanks to Andy@Lookers!), it fits flush now. Sorry about thread necromancy, but so many people complained about the noise, that I decided to post my findings. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

If you remove the roof rails you will need need a new cover strip - I had to cut the original full length one to fit mine. You will also need a threaded stopper to replace the pillars that the rails bolt to. You could possibly remove the pillars, and cut them down, then refit.

Hehe you might be right. Rails probably needs modification on most cars...
