40mm is just over 1-1/2 radius, that's really small.

I don't think my 1986 Diesel Golf had rain gutters, which may act as Gurney spoilers on some cars I would guess.

Aside: Read a few days ago that the AMC Pacer was one of first cab-forward and rain gutter-less cars, and originally designed for a Wankel engine.

My wife has a 2015 Prius, her mom a 2017 Prius, either for light refraction or ease of entry the newer car has less slope to the windshield which accounts for a longer post high point travel length.
