Welcome to the site millenniumtree. I'd suggest posting an intro thread for yourself so we can get to know you a bit.

I want to get the spoiler for it as well. I regret not getting one when we bought it. I wonder how much that little spoiler actually helps... Hmm

Mine came with the spoiler, and I'm pretty sure that it serves to direct dirt onto the back window. At the very least, it doesn't do anything at all. However, I'm reluctant to take it off, because I don't want to spend the money to get the mounting holes filled.

BTW, I second the suggestion of an intro thread.

It's not the spoiler. Mine does it too.
There's a reason they came stock with a rear wiper.
It's just the shape - the vortices created at the back of the "brick" continually swirl dirt and dust around the rear window.

I'm sure the spoiler provides a bit more vortex control back there. I'd like to see a radical rear-end mod with side wings and/or a central fin to smooth things out back there. I'm not going to do it though, because it's my only nice car. The other two are fair game for crazy mods.
