robert, It's good that your Kammback is clear. You can easily tuft test it with a quick look in the rearview mirror in real time, real world conditions, real driver in driver's seat. I made a coroplast prototype Kammback but couldn't see the tufts by myself and haven't had time to get back to the project.
