I am able vaguely visualize w.r.t. off-axis response, but... Why would you not recommend that? Would bottom of A-pllar not be the same location type?

Navin had mentioned "smearing" somewhere as one of the reasons.

But, some manufacturer (don't remember which) was professing mounting dome extended-midrange-response tweeters (1 pair for driver and another for passenger) exactly in that crevice facing the windshield for individual front imaging for driver and passenger. There is a graphic on their website explaining that.

Would elevated mean that "the sound stage appears to be above head height when seated"?

I have that feeling in the Safari EX with the stock (HT according to you) speakers, locations and orientation, and that leads me to the question: What control do we have on the apparent elevation of the sound stage? What are the parameters that affect it?
