Love those old vista cruisers John. Always wanted to graft one of the tops onto my old ford van.
I think the best solution to the dirty hatch problem would be to graft on an outlaw sprint car rear end.

Back when station wagons were popular (remember when the Olds Vista-Cruiser was the mommy-mobile of choice?), lots of dealers sold curved aluminum wings that deflected air from across the roof to down across the back window to break the suction and reduce the dirt on the rear window. See, you have an age old problem . . .
