Rear spoiler options / keeping rear window clean?

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that the rear window picks up a LOT of dirt, I'm guessing because of the vortex that is created with the car moving quickly. I'm curious - has anyone explored aftermarket spoiler options to see if this can be mitigated at all? My Impreza didn't have as bad a vortex effect.

Thanks!

Longer exhaust pipes. They cut them all shorter after some peeps got burned. The current pipe length is not what was designed for.

I had a spoiler on the MCS and there is one on the Countryman. The previous one didn't work and I suspect the present one will not either. Today it is raining so I will see what happens. I don't think I will try extending the exhaust pipes.
