As shown, you will never recoup the $200.

This type of rear spoiler acts by providing a clean edge for the air to release from, plus a little box cavity action of a single plane cantilever (some air will get sucked down/in).

As pointed out on the first response the roof racks "as shown" are an issue. They are an issue for a rear spoiler than relies on attached air-flow. The disruptive turbulence the racks cause will negate any benefits of a rear roof spoiler.

The spoiler is a nice looking, but on this vehicle of little value.

I agree.

One could remove the roof rack altogether as well.

Then the rear roof spoiler would have a chance to work, but I remain doubtful that it would ever pay for it's self.

It is a nice piece of bling though.
