Time to put your theoretical knowledge to use and build something and start saving some of those gallons. Attach your cover any way you want to. For a prototype make your rear cover using simple 2D panels. A 1" panel of pink board will bend nicely in a shape.

I wanted to keep my trunk functional on my VW so I did the rear area in two sections. I get straight tails off of the back of the rear of the rear foil. I have preserved rear vision under the rear foil. My trunk opens.

You might provide valuable information to all others on this list by building something even if your first construction is not ideal it may provide insight.
