Good luck on the experiments but I've not found any evidence of a measurable drag reduction with my 03 Prius. I observed the flow attachment with the vortex generators but it looks like the rotary motion at the base of the glass is not a major drag source.
My interest has moved on to reducing excessive cooling drag at the air inlet.
