Why doesn't the rear window get wet

I was driving Benzilla the other day in the rain. One thing that was curious was that the back window stayed completely dry. About like my VW with the rear window shade.

Is the air flow fairly smooth coming off the roof?

Here is a little detail that is hardly noticed. It is a small plastic panel that sits about half way between the rain gutter and the sheet metal. It is the same color as the paint. Hardly an inch long and running the height of the rear pillar.
