I'm revising my evaluation about the "side panel": the turbulence is from the outside mirror! I forgot to fold it in when I ran the tests (I usually fold it back at highway speeds).

I did a few more runs comparing mirror deployed to mirror folded to window up/down, the difference is clear. I'm putting together a video now to post on YouTube...

There's still a little wiggle in the yarn, but none more than what I'm seeing on the side glass ahead of the Kamm back (got some shots of that too).
