Dirty rear window - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

DebbyM46227 · 01-19-2011, 10:01 AM

Yes, the rear window seems to get dirty faster than most. Just carry a bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels with you, it won't take 5 seconds to clean it. I just don't see the reason to get so riled up over a dirty window.

Jeeeeesh----what a cranky bunch---I just wanted to know if any one had a cure for the Aero deposit of crud on the rear window.

Shinare · 01-20-2011, 06:11 PM

What about old people who think they are young who are cranky all the time but don't think they are?

alienparking · 01-20-2011, 08:20 PM

newbie, so this is what you talk about

yaris2010RS · 01-21-2011, 01:39 AM

lol, this is a very bad example of a yarisworld thread...... (unless we talk about oil or what type of brakes (slotted or drilled) or hypermilling.... other then that we are a friendly bunch)

check out DIY section for good helpful threads

(i found if u get a pic and fill out ur region u can find alot of local deals. thats how i got a lowering kit for a steal in my opinion)

Bad thread---I hope so---this is my first visit

R2D2 · 01-21-2011, 10:07 AM

The problem is NOT that this is a bad thread. The problem is the negative responses. The OP's question was quite valid- if anyone had found a way to help with accumulation on the rear window.

One "big value" to a forum such as this is collective knowledge and experience of many made available- little tips that make a vehicle more enjoyable. Not all of them have to be earth shattering or complicated. Where the thread went wrong was people passing judgement on the question. As usual tk-421 is right on about steering clear of threads one has no interest in or contribution for.

The same is true with the oil threads and the hypermiling threads-the only issue is the rude sarcasm from folks with attitudes who shouldn't be posting there in the first place.

Generally this is a fantastic forum with a lot of great and helpful folks and a great place to spend time. The mods are more than fair IMO.

nah why let a good thing die. lol

yaris2010RS · 01-27-2011, 03:21 PM

most helpful tip on here was the rear wiper placement change. the rain x is also a good idea but a PIA

birdman · 01-28-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm sure glad mine has the rear wiper. I have the OEM spoiler and mud flaps that I think look nice but do little to nothing. An intermittent rear wiper would be nice on dirty slushy winding mountain roads where you lose rear vision in minutes. The single speed rear wiper isn't ideal but it's a lot better than nothing. When I think of cars I owned years ago this little car is a marvel.

*Astroman* · 01-28-2011, 03:41 PM

I to am very glad I have the rear wiper! I usually wait until I refuel to clean off the rear window which is usually about once a week (I drive a lot). Winter seems to be the worst time of year. I have a replica C-ONE spoiler and mudguards and although they can help, they don't help the rear very much.

Looking around at all the "dirty" rear ends of other vehicles its just body design. Most vans, wagons, "crossover", and hatchback vehicles are dirty, while most sedans, coups, and trucks are relatively clean. I've only owned two vehicles that stayed pretty clean on the back, a convertible and a sedan. The rest of my rigs have been vans, wagons, and hatchbacks. All the latter have needed more cleaning on the rear window(s) than the sedan or convertible.

41magmag41 · 01-28-2011, 03:45 PM

long live dirty windows.

yaris2010RS · 02-02-2011, 07:07 PM

moved my rear wiper to the side a few days ago and with that plus the rear wing it makes a huge difference.
