Does a Honda Fit or Prius have less drag at the windshield base because there is less of a kink ?
If I create a curved ramp at the base of the windshield, would that help ? ( One that actually touches the windshield and completely seals the kink )
I'm thinking of a sloped windshied wiper cover.
If it begins to rain, I can simply pull it off.
Since airflow is recovered a few inches further past the wipers, is it even worth it ?
I think this sort of question has been discussed a thousand times here, but can't recall what the answer was.

Another good question.
Look, I
think that such an approach would reduce drag, but it would depend on so many factors. I haven't done any personal testing of this, and the tech stuff I've seen has been fairly generic in this area.
Can't do throttle stop testing?
