I dunno... the Sarona one just seems a bit too big IMO.
Also this is OT, and I already know it's a bloody stupid question, but as winter's here I think a bit of my brain's become frozen. So would it at ALL be possible to run a line from your windshield fluid bottle to the rear of the car and install a little nozzle or something on the underside of something like the Sarona spoiler? I know it sound kinda odd, but winter's just arrived and I've already had an instance of a sizable amount of dirt or... slush or whatever somehow getting on my rear window while driving (dunno, maybe some large vehicle splashed my car and I didn't notice?) Just wondering if this idea makes any sense ... even though I know it already probably doesn't... but always good to get a second opinion

eh i like the sarona but i cant see myself spending 300 on that thing maybe ill just take huys 
and for vivftp im sure you can run it just some modification but wouldnt you need windshield wipers to get the dirt off? so itll just be you spraying windex or w/e on the window and leaving it there.

I dunno, it's just one of a million random ideas that pop into my head... and I don't know how often I'm really going to run into situations where the rear window will be coated with grime while I'm driving. Gradual buildups I can deal with between trips, but it happening while on the road can be a bit of a bitch...
I don't suppose anyone has dared to try and install a rear wiper on our cars, right?

Heh, I know 90% of the crap that pops into my head's stupid, but for whatever reason I seem to need someone to actually tell me, "that shit's stupid, ya twit" to get me to stop thinking about it

Hmm... I suppose I was hoping the rear defogger could be used to help in clearing things up back there in conjunction with the spray.

P.S. I didn't do this mod, I am kinda of brainstorming here.

it would be alot easier to get a washer fluid tank installed in the trunk and run positive and negating to the motor and run the small clear tubing to the rear spoiler via the rear window reveal moulding. If you have a good nozzle and decent pressure coming from the pump, you won't need the wiper. Think how german cars wash off their headlights.

I knew if I tossed out enough crap something would eventually happen

Just out of sheer curiousity, does a roof spoiler like the Sarona add ANY functionality? I know it's pretty much for looks, but just wondering if there's any potential gains to having one.
Also, does it add or reduce wind noise any? Or is that completely unaffected?

looks, like rims, even though some are light, but overall most rims are for looks. But that car looks sick, i dunno about having the sarona + window visors though.
