By rear glass, you mean the vertical panel?

I don't want to discourage you, but I doubt you're going to be able to measure any change, short of boat-tailing the car, or adding a really big (bad) spoiler.

Did you see the size of the effect GM measured on the Volt with their 5mm (IIRC) spoiler height?
