Very interesting stuff. Are each of those little angles actually VGs?

Since the tape has a much lower profile (and lower drag?) than an AirTab,
the tape could hardly be seen going across the top of a CRV just before
the point of separation. (1 or 2 inches back from the edge?)..

I'm also wondering if ZigZag tape could be placed on the trailing edge of the hood?
Would it help smooth the transition across the (metal-to-glass) gap?
Perhaps allowing the windshield wipers to have less drag?

Cheers,
Rich
