I'm thinking Hat-Man's questions are academic and not a literal design proposal, yes?

I would do either the yellow line level cover or the red line level but not both at the same time.

The higher one (yellow) will probably create the larger bubble of air for the other air traveling over the cab to flow over. This is a good thing if it's closest to the Aero-Template. The template is "everything" because it considers the ground pressure plane, a complexity I struggle with at a conceptual level but think I understand a little bit.

The Ridgeline inspired side sails should cant/angle inward about 10 degrees to be most effective.

If you can get a partial roof wing incorporated into it, all the better, that too shall have a cant/angle downward 10 degrees.
