I agree strongly with the wider & higher deflector on the roof comment that I highlighted in dark red (above).
On the second point of radius box corners
that he already has, there are other areas much more deserving of attention, and that is probably the least of them.
Those European cab over engine air curtains are a fascination of mine as well, but here those giant rear view mirrors that he has are air flow interrupters and concept killers, that beautiful illustration will probably not work here.
A fine example of huge roof top fairing combined with curved leading edge box corners has already been posted, it helped me to look at it closer a second time. We need to get over that it's a Sprinter example, and focus on the details, these are details similar to the ones I sketched up early on and that we all seem to be in agreement on lately.

Regarding the below comment, sounds expensive and heavy compared to gluing some foam wedges to the door and painting them black. Neither idea is bad, just that there is just so much more low lying fruit to pick and these would be the very last things one would do if at all.
