Even with a 24" long piece of 1 x 1 L-angle, you're getting like 24 sq. in. of aero resistance on it, which would be a lot of pressure. About like holding your hand out the window @ 65 mph.

It worked fine all summer, in 100+ degree temps, but fell off in the fall. Was hoping it would be ok without it. I didn't have any issues until it got to about 90 this summer.
There is enough of a lip on the front of the splitter that you could do a 1/2" hat stiffener and not hang below the front of the lip. I'm probably going to do this soon and will post results.
