Hey folks, got a quick question. I was wondering if there was a rear spoiler on the market that would direct air down over the rear window?

I live on a dirt road and the way the air flows around a B5 Avant all the dust that's kicked up seems to settle directly on the back window. So, right after washing the car I drive about a mile down the road and can't even see out the back window anymore.

My thought was that if I could find a spoiler designed to direct air down over the back window, that would keep my window much cleaner. Instead of the air from under the car getting sucked up and stalling on the window, there would be a downward flow that would keep any debris from settling there.

I've seen several different aftermarket spoilers, but wasn't sure how they affected airflow (just from looking at the design it didn't look like it would accomplish what I want it for).

Any ideas?

Go faster so the dust doesn't catch you !

 

litek might make one

 

Yeah, that was the one I was looking at. (LLTek)

It's hard to tell just from pictures whether or not it's actually angled enough to direct air down over the window.

Know anyone who has experience with one? I suppose I could just call LLtek and ask how it affects airflow.

 

My friend owns the lltek car =] he bought it for 6k ***** so nice

 

Most spoilers take into consideration one singular purpose: To get laid.
In reality, most spoilers rarely accomplish this task. Even so those Civic owners keep trying.
In response to your question, I would say the spoiler may help. If the outcome is not what you expected, you could try to fabricate a different mount for it, to increase the angle.

Here's an idea, call up LLTek, or find someone who owns an LLTek spoiler for the avant. Ask them to get a rough estimate of the length, width and angle of the spoiler. Then mock one up from cardboard or whatever and test it out. If you add strength with scrap metal or wood, you'll have very similar properties and be able to try before you buy.

 

How did he pull off that!?

 

Idk how he did it i guess he got lucky it had stage 3 apr setup in it too
