cap on car

My car is a convertible, so some mods are a bit harder, or altogether impossible, to do than on a normal car. But I had an idea, if I were to use a screen that goes from the top of the rear windows to the trunk to make a sort of cap, does anyone think it would be very effective? I remember reading in another post using screen as a grill block but someone said it would only work if the the screen was at an angle. I'm making a picture of my idea now.



In the morning sometimes there's leaves on my roof and as I start to drive they get stuck right on my rear window, the vortex there is clearly visible and must create quite a bit of drag, and it would be awesome to reduce it!
