I remember the Vista Cruiser I would look out the upper forward facing window which was smaller than the one on the early Greyhound bus. Marty yes Jet 1 and I are having interesting mental images and from the data you have provided maybe we are barking up the wrong tree and the wiper is the best options, It just gets fustrating when you forget long enough (those logging roads) that the rear window builds up so much the wiper will not move. This low pressure is like a vaccum on the rear window sucking the snow up from the road,I guess you friend feels that even a small boundery layer disturbance created 2-3" aft of the top back hatch frame would not be enough to limit this? And no I am not interested in something several feet long. I did notice today that the standard Tahoe is much different. Mel just trying to think of a way to do it that would not increase parasitic drag. I guess for those really bad days one could install a spoiler off a 737-800 hydraulics and all but the useful load would go down. Then i guess there is always the swamp buggy fan. I guess though we are lucky in Canada if we have a warm 24 of Canadian we can always drive down a 2km road snow covered with the tailgate open. Kindest Regards K2

 

Good luck in trying to solve it! I don't doubt where there is a will, there is a way. Have I mentioned the the '42 Buick Super 8 was a great looking 4 door with style and grace...just no economy! But it was much easier for me to work on.

 

Mel do you remember the 39 Studabaker? Two door.

 

Cute...I guess I set myself up for that because I am not old enough for the buick either, we just had one we used for a lake car to pull the boat around and keep wet bathing suits out of the family car. But the only place I have seen a Stude is at an antique show and a car museum...they were cool cars though.

 

Yes they were cool!!! Guess I have dated myself

 

Ha Ha...well, we are fortunate to have been witness to the history of the automobile...and Airplane!

 

Thats true Mel.

 

Its Easter Weekend and I have some old Aerostar Vortex Generators I am going to try with 100 MPH tape.

 

Aerostar Vortex Generator update, Failed did not work at all. Feel like the guy on Myth Busters. Back to the drawing board.
