I have an idea that might help mostly on cars that have almost flat roof.
here is the idea: take a sheet of lexan or sheet metal and make a bubble top start at the top of the windshield go over the roof and stop at the back window. however in the migddle of the roof have it 4?6? 10? inches off the top of the factory roof. this would extend the angle of the windshield up onto the "new" roof and help the air flow better over that part of the roof?

or has this been tryed and I need to learn more'?
