Default Downforce?

Would anyone know how much if any of the air that goes over the windshield, goes off to the sides? I have been doing some testing and it seems that the drivers side has more air that goes to the side rather then over the car. I have been using streamers taped to the edge of the hood.

If anyone has found this before and fixed it, I'd like to know.

Also, does having the vent or heat on create less downforce as air is sucked into the cabin rather then going over the car?

Default

When I worked where I could park in a deck I used RainX.

If you can't keep the windsheild clean the RainX is more of a PITA than a fix.

But when it rained I could see that the air moved to the closest edge. (other than the bottom)

If you've never seen RainX at work then you've missed a neato thing.
