I'm not going to bash someone's styling choices, but I've never understood the purpose of roof spoilers, especially on our car(s) for reasons the video discloses (which I thought were apparent) - especially since the angle of the rear windshield is almost the perfect angle (12 - 13 degrees) for drag reduction; this was intentional, and well designed; I personally would never put one on my car because of that (and because I imagine it would be a PITA to try to clean the windshield area under it).

Again, I'm not going to bash someone's styling choices, because I do enjoy seeing these sort of modifications on other cars, even if I wouldn't do that to my own, but I do hope that people who are putting on a roof spoiler are doing so for styling, and not because of utterly falsified information that manufacturers are trying to sell people about these "improving" aerodynamics, etc.
