The pressure readings decreased by 25-30 Pa over the rear window with the roof spoiler, but pressure increased on the roof ahead by 45 Pa.

Pressure on the window varied from baseline by + or - 5 Pa, but again the roof pressure was higher by 30 Pa.

I'm going to do some more testing of the rear lip spoiler today between teaching, with more locations on the window and roof.
Looks like the 1st-condition, with no add-ons had the best performance.
The other two increased lift and drag.
