So, it's 'winter' here on the Oregon Coast, been raining for the last 5 days, more to come.
When I got my 5 back at the end of May and it rained some, I noticed the 'rear liftgate spoiler' doesn't do a very good job of keeping crud off the rear window, nowhere near as good as my old '92 Plymouth Colt Vista was with no 'spoiler'.
Now that I'm back in the rain for the next 6 months, I'm not keen on having to run the rear wiper on intermittent all the time.
Has anybody come up with something to keep the rear window clear with out wiping it constantly?
I thought I had an old bottle of 'Rain X' that was supposed to make rain sheet and blow off the windshield and other windows. I can't find it and was wondering if anybody has heard of it or tried it.
I vaguely remember trying it on a windshield years ago and it was marginal at best so didn't use it again, but maybe it would work for the back, cause the crud to sheet and run off better.
Anybody tried it or something similar on the back window?
