Yes, the corner angles of the strips are far from rigid and they can be
tweaked way out or in with ease. There is a lot a leeway.

I have been going back and forth on where to take measurements, either from the ends of the roof top raised areas, or the hold down strips when they are laid down and aligned, or even to the gutter (not really that good a datum point).

I found a dinner plate that has a radius pretty darn close to the factory radius at the front of the hole. I'll use the same radius for now at the rear of the hole and see how it looks there after all is cut out.
