Default Spoiler

Love my Hemi Magnum BUT the back end collects dust and dirt as soon as you drive it and when it gets wet, all that dust turns to mud. I figure they didn't bother checking aerodynamics and the only cure is a spoiler on top of the rear window. Has anyone else experienced this problem and has anyone seen a spoiler for the Magnum?

I haven't seen a spoiler yet, and I was looking for one at this last years Sema Show. You are correct, the dirt really collects on the rear tailgate and bumper and window. Most every wagon I've seen has the same problem.

I'm afraid ya'll are barking up the wrong tree. First - yes my rear window gets extremely dirty and I have used the rear wiper/washer a lot! I'm really pleased it shares the front tank. However all this dirt is coming up from the pavement due to the low pressure behind the vehicle -a bigger spoiler would only make it worse! What you would need is a spoiler not unlike what Chrysler put on the 1969 and later wagons to direct the air DOWNWARD past the glass.

Via500 is correct. A spoiler is need to force airflow down the back window. Pretty much what you see on the back end of SUVs.
