Whenever airflow wraps around a curve it creates lower pressure. The same concept as an airplane wing/profile. Since the top of the car is curved to fit the passenger cabin the (negative) pressure on the top is pulling up on the car. If you flipped the car upside down it would make downforce.
That's what I have gathered anyway.
