I want to bring attention to golf cart canopy roof lowering kits that exist. I've seen several people discussing clearance issues in various threads and this could be a solution.
Check out this product, the accompanying pictures, and user reviews -

It looks like it can be purchased cheaper here (do your own research)

I have no experience with these. I'd personally be curious if there are vibration or rattling issues. With some foam stickers or something I think it could eventually work smoothly?
