Aft airflow even one inch closer to the rear bumper would be an improvement.

I don't think gumby79 meant all the way down to the rear bumper.

Anyway, the images I posted show tuff attachment on rear windows at similar angles with VG use. Something to ponder.

I wonder if attempts to get aft airflow down to bumper height will meet resistance due to ground pressure wave interference and also from the air flowing under the car/truck.

I'll stick to focusing on getting air to rear spoiler for now, few things bug me more than things attached to the car that do nothing because they don't engage the air flow.

On the VW Bug/Beetle turbo the rear spoiler below the window helps fill out the profile to fit the Aero-Template fairly well I suspect - a good thing.
