Has anyone noticed whether or not the rear window stays cleaner longer with a rear spoiler as compared to no spoiler? Those rear windows get dirty real fast.

I added the rear spoiler 2 weeks ago and my back glass is STILL clean!

I was cleaning it at least twice a week before.

 

Well hell, that answers my question. Thanks. I'll get on that install this week.

 

With the stock rear spoiler there is a gap in the middle to allow air flow to downdraft across the window which would help keep it clean, but other wings like the bigger duck tail spoilers with no gap in the middle could cause more of a backdraft causing more dirt to be on your window

 

i had mine since new and it doesn't do anything to keep it clean i think. with the design if it being a hatchback it will always get dusty back there. spoiler or not. but it does look better with a spoiler

 

mine seemed worse after installing the spoiler.

 

I bought mine with out, and shaved the rear wiper.

I was cleaning the glass at least twice a week, and wiping it off probably twice more a week.

Since i added that rear spoiler, i clean it once, maybe wipe it once.

 

you sure its not from riding around in the dirt, sideways?

 

lol, naw, those days are over, lol

 

hmm i've got an 04 xb with oem spoiler, back window gets dirty all the time, though ive always had it so i'm not able to compare with and without...
