That I'm sure is true, but a notch-back coupe is a magnitude larger source of drag compared to even the worst slotted wing.
If one could get a notch-back coupe or pick-up truck to manage the air flow off the roof in any manner and by any means and improve upon the stock configuration, then I say go for it.
My seat of the pants testing says the roof wing works, I encourage others to give it a try and see for themselves.
We are going to see more and more of these air-diverters and air management systems fitted to cars and trucks in the future, best we make some attempt to understand them.
