my dad told me about a semi trailer modification were the wing is placed 90% below the top of the trailer angled down. It protrudes 1/2- 2"above the roof line . It acts as an air scoop , to fill the void (vortex) behind the trailer.
Also my 1982 Chevy Blazer S-10 had a similar design. GM said it was to keep the back glass free of dust.

Good work on your prototyping
for your next roof wing try concave with vortex generators @ the outer tips
