French term or phrase: la virgule de face arrière de roof
Anyone able to help with this phrase? I'm not sure I get it, but I'm hoping it's straightforward to someone in the know...

Le premier Lagoon, c’est d’abord une vue de profil: celle du Lagoon 55 qui s’inspire des monocoques luxueux de ce milieu des années 80, avec leurs longues jupes, la virgule de face arrière de roof, un dessin de roof classique avec des plexis très simples mais des proportions très équilibrées

Explanation:
From the sounds of it, this is what it is, although this is just a guess.
It certainly reminds me of the 'virgule'
