Remove any existing wing type spoiler or rear cargo rack. Buy or fabricate your aero spoiler and install.
The type of spoiler you are looking for will be small, it will be 5/8 inches long plug or minus 1/4 inch (15mm +/-6mm), 3/4 of an inch seems to be the sweet spot (19-20mm).
The spoiler tilt needs to be about 20 degrees off a vertical axis.
