S80 rear window

Kev0607 · Dec 9th, 2022, 09:32

Hi all,

There's one thing I loved about having a hatchback and that was having a rear wiper... not a feature on a saloon.

I'm finding that literally everything sticks to the rear screen of my 2007 S80 (P3 chassis). Now, I don't mind bringing my car for a wash, but even when I do that, all it takes is a rain shower and there's all water marks or dust/grime off the road/in the air and I'm back to square one. Especially in this colder weather, visibility is important! The rear defrost works, but the car does mist up on the inside of the rear window. I was thinking about getting one of those dehumidify sacks and putting it in the car behind the rear headrests.

Is there anything that anyone suggests that could be applied to the rear screen, just to keep it relatively clean for longer? Or is it a case of having to constantly wash the window.

Well probably is coming from rain and sticks dirty on wet glass.

So use something like this:
