Unfortunately I was driving and didn't get to see the live tufts and both videos are not incredibly clear.

I did notice that the tufts at the gap were being pulled in on the side making me think the topper extends just a little too far.

I was surprised to see the distinct upward flow on the sides.

I was happy to see attached flow all the way down.

I was also surprised at the behavior where the side are meets the top air. I was expecting some turbulence there but it appears that the radius allows the air to join nicely.

I'm hooked now and would like to get some more comprehensive video to better visualize the air flow.
