The rear glass gets really dirty while driving on the roads. Mainly in the winter time because of sand/salt on the road. So I was looking online and saw that rear spoiler is available for the KK and I was wondering if someone here has tried it. couldn't find more pictures from different angle. I wanted to see how it looked.  http://www.carid.com/2007-jeep-liberty- ... 41558.html |

Highly doubt if it will help that much anyways just keep the back glass waxed and you're good to go |

I think all the dust and winter junk whirls up from the tires so I can't see it helping with the cleanliness. |

That spoiler will most likely make the rear window dirtier as it looks like it will cause a larger cavity of suction behind the vehicle. Thats more of a stylish "downforce" type of accessory. The older style of wind deflectors from the past were designed to extend up into the slipstream and shave off some airflow and direct it sharply downward across the glass to blow the dust off.

I want one of those older types, Drednot, if they ever make one for the KK. |

I have the spoiler for the 2012 KK, Not sure how to load pics here but will see what I can do. I cannot figure out how to add pics, though I do have some of my 2012 liberty with the spoiler |

I wonder if you can slap that on with a sky slider? I wonder if it would interfere with it. Hmmmm maybe you could even stick an led bar on it as backup lights  Cherrie 274 wrote: I like it but the price! Also if you get it unpainted its pretty reasonable. Only $150, not bad at all.

It's been a year, ...anybody have any experience with one of these rear spoilers yet? I think it would look cool, but not if the fit isn't very good, or if it interferes with the roof rails when you lift the gate open fully? It's made by "Pure", model#FG-282. I've never seen one of them on a KK, other than this pic which has been on CarID.com for a long time. |

When in doubt, order it and find out?.... Primed and have finished painting "Stone White", to match the rest of the Jeep.  So far it looks like a perfect fit. Will be attaching the spoiler today, and try to post pics later. |

I attached the spoiler on the weekend. Luckily, during about the only window all weekend, ...when it wasn't raining. I'm very happy with the fit and the look. Unique for sure! Other than noticing the spoiler seems to get fairly dirty on the exposed underside, whether it effects the aerodynamics, or makes the back window, more or less dirty - so far I'm not noticing much change. Then again, it wasn't there to notice before. I'm not a big fan of posting crappy pics of something that is only 95%, so I'm not posting the pics until I've had the chance to do the last buff out on the clearcoat with McGuire's super-duper-special-awesome Compound. Hoping for good weather this weekend so I can get some more work done on the Lib. According to UPS tracking, a "little package" in the form of a new RL front bumper is due to arrive before the end of the day tomorrow. ...That could end up sidetracking me a little.hehe (Gage you might want to double up on that popcorn!)

I'm sure the pictures will be worth the wait. I get jealous when I see the KJ's with the Mopar rear air deflector. Did they ever make a Nitro with a spoiler? |

I have an 04 KJ with one of those tinted plastic spoilers above the rear tailgate glass. I always thought it was more for style than actually helping to keep the rear window clean. I still need to use the rear window washer. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk |

BAM! Pics of the TRUE spoiler. Purchased @ CARid.com Fairly simple install. Two screws, one in each end. 3M double sided tape around the edges. I chose to also use a bit of silicone to seal the screws/holes and a thin layer between the spoiler and roof. I think it looks pretty darn all-right!
