Here's some quick-n-dirty illustrations of my aeromod plans.
The first is like a "window adaptor" that fits in the place of the original window. It'll be made of welded steel with a small oval plastic window.
The "window adaptor" will mainly give more space to my dog and protect him from being fried by the sun but it may also (with some luck) make a slight improvement to drag.

The second image is a hinged cover made of fiberglass or whatever seems best. It should be light weight and don't need to be perfectly watertight since it will only be like an extra cover over the rear end and not a replacement. The "aerobutt" needs to be lifted at least 45 degrees to give me access to the trunk. The extra space may be used for an auxillary power unit (electric or diesel) with a fifth wheel just behind the car.
