will the roof spoiler keep the dirt off the back. I clean it and take it for a ride and the back is full of sand and film of dust in just a few miles on highway.. or any other ways to keep it off...it is a 2006 vibe. Neptune blue i believed is what color it is...Thanks Art

unfortunately no, the spoilers are just for looks and the mid gate is for holding beer. Its crazy how dirty our back windows and ends get on these things... do you have the mud flaps?

Thanks to all, I guess i will just have to carry a water hose and some soap I guess i don't need to spend mony on a spoiler then....It takes just a quick run and it looks like i never clean the back...

The mud flaps could help keep the dirt down...but i dont have them on my car either so i cannot confirm how much dirt they actually control.

Or you could just tie a midget to the roof and have him keep blowing down the hatch to keep the dust off.

Mine was doin good on Chicken and Stars and Spaghetti O's for awhile. Then Union got involved so I shipped him back to Mexico. Hence I got the duster. Sure it's more manual, but it fits in my hatch better and I don't have to paint it each time I go driving to match the car. LOL

I like having a dirty back window, but maybe that's because I can't afford tint. I also recommend against using rain-x on the back window. It will make any mist bead up and force you to use the rear wiper all the time, and the only part of the window you can see out of is the little portion covered by the rear wiper. Untreated, it will smear and still let you see out pretty well.
