You're right, in most cases a wing at the trunk level won't be very effective because it will not be in the free stream. The ideal wing location depends on the shape of the roof and back glass. In this case I was hypothesizing a best-case scenario where the wing did get the free stream air without any low-pressure regions or vortices caused by the flow separating off the roof/glass turning point. It would be nice if I had some CFD software on my computer...
