Something like the red line?



Thx138, my understanding is that there is always benefit from "filling the wake," but you would still generate drag on the entire area outside of the aero topper.

I think that if you simply made a flat topper at the proper height for air to reattach at your tailgate, you would have some visibility, reduced wake, and reattached air, I just do not know how beneficial it would be.
