Rear Wind Deflector
Normally I find a rear spoiler on a truck to be quite functional. When driving, the vertical windows of vehicles like this have a negative air pressure bubble. Anything kicked up by the tires darts right for the back of the vehicle. The rear wind deflector ensures a constant wind flow from the top down to remove that negative pressure thus keeping rain and grime from sticking to the window.
For some reason the rear wind deflecter/spoiler seems to put more dirt on my rear window than without it. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Cost of Rear Wind Deflector
I have my GX in the shop right now so I asked the Dealer what the cost would be to put one on - he comes back with $1200 installed! There has to be a better price out there.
I would like to keep it OEM, is there any available for less then Dealer price? If so, where?
Thanks!

rear spoiler
I bought mine from irontoad.com. It was OEM and factory painted to match for $412.00. Installed it myself without any trouble. The worst part was finding the correct sized drill bits. I when slow (drilling a $50K vehicle was a little unnerving) and it only took a couple hours.

I think the wind deflector (as I recall) makes it worse.

I'd only speak from my personal experiences. The GX is the only SUV I've been this close to. It is actually my GF's but I mod it. So speaking from my experience with it, Id have to say the spoiler reduces the dust.
