Mods may well be fine and dandy but i do think that the obvious is bieng overlooked............

I am only expressing a opinion that you may well dismiss as bieng trivial, mods are great as long as one does not overlook the obvious
I did some yarn testing the other day. I taped three 6 inch pieces of yarn
on top of the spare so I could see them fly around as I zoomed up US95..

Didn't happen.. The three yarns just lay there like they were asleep.
Maybe my Coroplas Spoiler and Wake Boards are blocking the spare.?.

I moved the yarns to my rear window. I'm starting to think that's going
to be a low turbulence area too.
