Here's what my tapered aero cap looks like from behind...


I don't have any plans in the near future to taper the last bit that sticks above the template. I can barely see out the back window in the current state. Dropping the back edge of the aero cap/hatch lower would make me blind back there and I'd have to install some cameras and monitors to see anything behind me. Installing a window on the hatch wouldn't provide me the visuals I require as the slope angle of the window would make it impossible to see clearly through. It's one of the compromises I need to make with my current aero cap state.

The overhang on the back is almost perfect when the hatch is up to provide a little extra shade over the tailgate when the tailgate is down.

I'm not sure how much effect the overhang has...I'm tempted to stick a Gurney flap on the end of the hatch and see what happens.
