Rotor blade assemblies 100 for wind turbines 10 are provided. A rotor blade assembly 100 includes a rotor blade 16. In some embodiments, the rotor blade assembly 100 further includes a surface feature 102 configured on an exterior surface of the rotor blade 16, the surface feature 102 having an exterior mounting surface 122. At least a portion of the exterior mounting surface 122 has a contour in an uninstalled state that is different from a curvature of the exterior surface of the rotor blade 16 at a mount location of the surface feature 102 on the rotor blade 16. In other embodiments, the rotor blade assembly 100 further includes a seal member 16 surrounding at least a portion of a perimeter of the surface feature 102. The seal member 160 contacts and provides a transition between the exterior surface and the surface feature 102.
