If your car looks like this example below, then you already have a clean sharp edge for the air to release from (
which reduces turbulence).

However, that said anything which makes the body longer ratio wise is usually good.
These retreating edge treatments (
found on hatchbacks and SUV's) seem to get more common and larger every year (
see image below).

I have begun sketching up a Phase-2 roof wing which includes cab side returns. Just have to figure out how to export the sketches from my phone to my computer, and then I will post them.
I currently do not make a big distinction between a roof spoiler and roof wing. However I do favor the leading edge air-slot approach of the semi-wing, just have to prove it works better than a flush sealed edge - somehow.
