Actually I don't think it's a good way to improve aero.
It probably isn't necessary.
As we know, most of the action is towards the rear.
As long as it's attached up to the point of max x-section area, that's pretty much all it takes to make the air happy (yeah gross simplification but whatever).
Then there's the weirdness of looking through a windshield that gives you the impression of driving from the back seat. And the solar gain. And maybe fogging (it's 3x bigger).

Here's a fact: To properly "lay back" a windshield, you have to chop the top. That means a reduction in frontal area, as well as a smoother rake to the windshield line. NOW do you think it would have an aero effect?

now yer throwin other stuff in there, no fair.
