Dirty Back Window

[LFB]

Hi,
the rear window on my K11 is constantly dirty. My car is fitted with the lip rear spoiler (not the surround type)
Would removing the spoiler help?
many thanks
Simon

Honestly I doubt it, suppose it's just a fact of life the car will constantly need cleaning..... and for that reason I never bother

That's when the rear wiper comes in handy :grinning:

Indeed, there's a lot to be said for having a rear wash wipe.

The lip should in theory help prevent it, it helps separate the air flow from the car and reduces the turbulence that is present in the rear window area*

well you only have to have a bit of rain or park near a tree to ruin cleanliness. don't put practicality and looks together. simples! (Y)

I have no wiper and its fine! Just justy and in the morning when its damp i just wipe it with my sleeve!

its because of the shape of the micra, it encourages dirt to come towards the rear window with the vacuum the car creates behind it. a lip spoiler would actually make it worse, but there is no way to avoid it without changing the angle of the back of the car.
