Your proposal is a little different than my studies, starting with post 16. The prevailing opinion was that adding a fence between the side and roof would only delay and offset the vortex formation, not do anything to make it less of a problem.

As already mentioned, those European super racing trucks use air fences, which might be adapted to your A-pillar.

I say just go for it and have fun experimenting. Who knows, you might come up with something new and useful.
Just do it.
EDIT: I've also looked into putting fences elsewhere, but that was a NO_GO as well.
