Hi Phil,

I did a quick drawing of "The Template" over a web image of a 2011 Prius.



Some things to note:

The Prius back glass drops quicker than the plan taper.

In order to make up for it, I shrank the template a bit and lowered it to put it in a sort of compromise position that you see in the image.

I did this because it would seem to me that once the air starts moving along a given taper, it would be unwise to push it back up too much, I'd think a sort of go with it idea would keep the air moving as smoothly as possible.

The black line was used as a measuring device, it appears to me that a trailer would end at 82" or so if this line were followed.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Charlie
