Dirty rear window

[Kioshi]

Lol...i wonder about the people ''driving'' in america...more and more.

Like most have said, a spoiler helps but doesn't eliminate. If you wipe it down w/a rag twice a week, it'll stay clean throughout the year.

If you also arch your rear wiper at a 115-125 degree angle, it will TREMENDOUSLY help not collecting dirt/dust.

OK, I am curious as in your avatar it does appear your wiper stops in the uppermost location. How did you set that up? I understand taking the arm off and repositioning it, but the wiper motor is set to stop at the bottom, how did you get around that?

Nevermind, found the DIY here.

Cheers! M2

I love the Californicators who cannot understand that some states have snow, and ice, and grit, and salt. "Wipe it down with a rag twice a week..." Yup! And buy a new window every month.

But seriously, Yes, the Yaris gets a dirty back window, and the only cure is cleaning it. I do every time I fill the tank, since most gas stations have a "cleaning station" for windows around here.

Hahaha its such nice weather here, that we tend to forget what you folks go through every year. My fault, your still coo in my book, Sail.

@ madmax - wow, i didnt even know someone posted a diy on it.
I literally fiddled around with it...with my badly wounded index finger trying to reposition the gears.

Thanks.

This thread amuses me...like the ''yaris in japanese'' thread...

You, too, Kioshi.
Yup! We get all the cr@ppy weather. AND too much heat in the summer (for us)
Every time I see someone in the "sunny states" say "lower it!", I wonder if they have ever tried driving a Yaris through 12" of snow.... Hence, no lowering here,and snow tires. Can't wait to get back on summers again. ;-)
