It's minimal on your car, but I know they have this on Nascars, etc, and it could help those with steeper rear window angles maybe?
Thread resurrect...

Was this tried out?? I'm still interested in some type of small bump at the very edge of the rear of the hatch. I've read that this should allow the air to detach from the car and smooth out the wake, correct? Sorry, I'm still a noob here and I'm wanting to learn.
