Help! Thule bracket causing wet children! V70-XC70 1998

We have a '98 V70 T5 without the factory racks, so we utilize Thule mounting brackets and load bars. The mounting brackets over both rear doors (where the mounting notch is located) cause the weatherstipping to push out slightly, allowing rain to seep in and drip on the back seat (on our children!) Has anyone else experienced this? We use the mounting kit 161. I have contacted Thule directly - they don't have any fixes, but it has been reported from others. It amazes me that a company from Sweden doesn't have the proper fit for a Swedish car manufacturer.

TIA for any answers to such an odd question.
