How to attach ember guard to 4m roller door?

I've got a new shed with 4m wide roller doors with ember guard brushes at the top that aren't long enough.

The ember guard brushes are about 9cm long but the 4m wide door bows when closed so there is a gap of about 2cm.

The shed manufacturer said he doesn't have a source for longer ember guards but I think he's too busy with other jobs to pursue a solution.

I've looked online but haven't found anything so I thought I'd turn to this forum to see anyone had a similar problem.

Any thoughts or out of box ideas appreciated, thanks

Shifting guard in the middle will hit the door when rolling up/down and when fully closed.  thanks

So it sounds like no matter how you adjust the guard, it will either hit or leave a gap @Steve5. If that's the case, then I see no other option than trying to resolve the bow. Either that or find a guard with longer bristles, which I would presume might be difficult, considering they are already 9cm long.
