Just coming to this late, but in case anyone else runs across this in the future, here's your fix.

Your CSS Code:

.wrapper {
    width:100%;
    position:fixed;
    z-index:10;
    background:inherit;
}

.bottom-wrapper {
    width:100%;
    padding-top:92px;
    z-index:5;
    overflow:auto;
}

Your HTML:

    ...your header here...


    ...your main content here...

This will provide you with a header that cleanly matches your site, and floats at the top. The main content will scroll free of the header, and disappear when it passes the header. Your .bottom-wrapper padding-top should be the height of your header wrapper's content.

Cheers!
