friendly_jacek Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I have one (option from dealer). Works well, keeps the rear window clean, I almost newer use rear wiper. However, I suspect I might pay MPG penalty at high speeds (never tested though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danz75 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I have one too. Came with the car as a package. Seems to work well if the rear window is not too dirty. I don't use my rear wipers much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesbaru Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I had one on my GL and one on my Legacy. I'm pretty happy with them. Haven't noticed them doing anything nasty to my mpg. Used to live on a dirt road, and they really helped keep the dust off the back window. (also help with snow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEK39 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I put one on my Forester last year after 2 years of driving without one. Made a HUGE difference in keeping the rear window clean, and NO real difference in mileage. Purchased an OEM one off of EBay for about 1/2 of dealer retail. Easy to install, just got to get over drilling a few holes in the back deck lid. I had mine painted at the dealer before I installed it, to match the body color (arctic white) - I always thought the stock black was ugly. I did remove the crossbars from the roof rack since I rarely ever carry anything up there. That did make a BIG difference in wind noise, so I assume it makes a difference in mileage, although I can't really measure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
