I do think they could help.They would forcibly control the 'area' occupied by the turbulence,sculpting the wake behind the roof as it were.
Pickups like the Ridgeline,Escalade,and Avalanche are using them after a fashion.
Lotus has done it.Many of the supercars have used it.
I did it with my CRX and incorporated wings and spoilers into the buttresses to further modify the separated flow.
I would give them some gentle inward plan-taper,based upon the 2D-flow wing section of minimum drag.
Here is the MG EX 181 using it for it's body
