Rear window air-flow deflector?

If she is dating you, does that really need re-explaining??

Did anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I have a thread on the Exterior forum but no replies. I was looking more for aesthetics but if it helps keep the rear hatch window clean then that's a bonus.

A jug of Windex and a roll of paper towels. Simple solutions to complex problems. The deflector will reduce but not eliminate the crud on the lift gate.

The idea is to keep it clean, and not let it get caked on so that the wiper/washer turns it into mud.

I was looking for something to make the truck look prettier

I think that we all agreed that most of the dirt/mist was originating from underneath the truck so something mounted under the bumper might work, but no, nothing further.....yet.

I ended up putting a spoiler on mine. It looks cool but does not do much to deflect air to keep the lift gate clean. It actually sucks air up. I travel at highway speeds of over 80 mph and figured the spoiler will help with stability, especially with the headwinds we get out here. No real difference but it does look cool. I will post some photos soon. I am in the middle of field season here in northern Nevada so my truck is perpetually dirty. Bummer but she (the truck) loves being dirty and taken on rough back country roads.

Saw a guy today with a 2nd gen Expy with an aftermarket wind deflector.

It did •not• help keep dirt off the back.

Well that didn’t help.
