Until the S3, I have always had saloons but now have a sportback. The most annoying thing is how dirty the rear window gets! Is there anything I can do to help alleviate this issue? I was thinking maybe a little extra spoiler/lip might help but wanted to see if anyone else has any experience with this?
Cheers

The shape of the car creates turbulent air that tends to pull dirt toward the rear of the car. It's very well known and annoying in the world of hatchbacks (like my former Golf R).

Try using a good glass sealant which should keep dirt off a bit better

I know it's an 8p model but this one has an extra spoiler on the rear. not sure if it helps any with keeping dirt off the back??

And what's worse is it is in an aerodynamically dead spot - it does nothing but look bad.
