Hi CBJ, put down the hacksaw and step away from the Sammio. Don't cut the ends off the screen!
The screen and its base are both flexible and need to be pulled in at the ends to narrow the overall width. That will make it fit across the width of the car, make the angle of the screen steeper and bend the base into the correct shape to snugly fit over the contours of the body.
I pinned mine at one end with a self-tapper then compressed the other end to see if it sat right. It took two or three attempts to get it exactly right, then I used 'well nuts' along its length to bolt the screen frame down onto the body without needing access to the underside of the bulkhead. They have the added bonus of providing some shock absorbtion.
I do hope that all makes sense.
