I understand the windshield dynamics from the pic, but does it do the same thing in the mirror area? I don't ever remember seeing a wind tunnel pic from a kind of 45 degree-ish angle to where you could see what happens right at the junction of the lower windshield and the pillar where the mirror sits. All the pics I can find just show the side view.

We don't get a bunch of plan-view images for this sort of thing.
I'm gonna try a link to the Masters Thesis on Mirror Drag from Sweden which Vekke shared with us.
In the text,some plan-view CFD velocity/pressure profiles are provided for a Mercedes-Benz A-Class car
