Default rear window visor

i know i dont have a sliding window in the back but i was thinking of getting one to try to keep the water off the back window. does it work? im tired of looking at water spots all over the window. and i cant really reach from the ground lol and its a pain to wash with all the decals!! does anyone else have one??


thanks
Kelly

I do not have one but I'm willing to bet you can pick one up from lund truck accessories.

Edit: I read it wrong so I really do not know about that one. A local truck accesory place should be able to help.

Seems a bit odd, IMO. It likely won't keep the rain off anyway. The low pressure area at the back window will suck rain, etc., up against the window at moderate speeds.

I think what she means that with a slider she can reach the window better to wipe it off? I dunno.

LOL I did not think it was a trick question!! I do not think it will keep the rain off the window while driving. and I DO NOT think it will look right on a truck without a slider. Not real crazy about them on trucks with a slider.........

Don't...my truck had one of those goofy things above the slider and it ended up trapping so much water and snow underneath it that ended up making the rear window useless at anything other than traffic jam speeds. I took the stupid thing off and now have much less problems. The water tends to get sucked out of the box and the crack between it and the cab and with that slider visor on the water and snow tends to collect under it like a bucket, which makes it pour down the window like a waterfall. You won't have water spots, but every time you drive in the rain at 30+ MPH you won't be able to see out the back window.
