Controlling the eddies is a very important part of any of these spoilers. Is it not?
From what I have seen posted in this forum, the air flow stays attached on the modern Bug to the bottom of the rear glass.
The air flow stays attached only to the top of the rear window on the old air-cooled Beetles.
The wings and spoilers located at the lower window edge on the +2001 Bug's are at worst; allow a clean sharp edge for the air to leave the body of the car. Another way of saying "controlling the eddies", yes?
