    Rain X and good wax helps a lot when its dry but in the Winter your SOL.

    FYI I removed my ugly rear wiper and it gets crazy dirty all the time.

    How about tear-offs, like NASCAR teams use on their, uh, windshields? :biggrin5:

    Seriously, this is an aerodynamic problem inherent in the design of hatchbacks, so there's really nothing you can do about it except RainX the window to make it a little harder for stuff to stick.

    My car has only left the garage once this month since I now work from home.
    When I do take it out it I do not baby it and it gets dirty because I like cleaning it.

    I was going to remove the rear wiper on my Clubman but before I got to it, I traded it in.

    I have a Clubman and have the same issue. Have you ever noticed the huge motor homes that have the brushes that hang down in the rear sorta like the UPS trucks use on their rear fenders to disrupt/contain water spray that comes up. I was wondering is you used one of them between the rear wheels, right after the axle area if that would help. It might look weird but I bet it would work.
