You guys that have the rear spoiler, do you think that the air flow helps out keeping the trailing mist off the rear window?? I like the clean look of no rack and no spoiler, but I may have to put on a spoiler. What do you think??  |
Definitely not the strangest question ever.
I have a spoiler and it helps to keep the rear window clean. It deflects the air downward to blow rain/snow off the window. Personally, I keep Rain-X on the windows, so I don't use the rear wiper, but having a spoiler doesn't mean you won't need to use the rear wiper.
Net is, a spoiler is not required -- it's just preference. Would you rather have the (your words) "clean look of no rack and no spoiler" and use the wiper, or have a spoiler and use the rear wiper less often?
