Which makes me think that the flow over the trunk is really not that bad
2D model of a 3D world.
Look at the curved sides of the rear window.

There must be flow from the sides which will combine with flow across the roof and I'd guess (complete guess - not amateur let alone an expert) disrupt what looks like a more or less static bubble in flow illustrator.

Might be worth tuft testing with and without simple side fins and possibly a small truck deck lid extension.


The kammback wouldn't necessarily have to be hinged.
It could be mounded on rails.
Slide it back to open truck.
