Every morning when I get in my 2006 Jetta to go to work, the back window had some water on the outside of rear window. It is a significant restriction to visibility from the rear view mirror. After doing about 10 miles, the rear window starts to clear up.

On my wagon, a quick pass of the rear windshield wiper was solve this.

How do you guys deal with this?

I have cleaned the window inside and out but I can’t do anything about the condensation and if there is any dirt, it just makes it worse.

I have always owned wagons or minivans with the rear wiper; is a squeegee really what people (without rear wipers) have to use on a routine basis?

There are just too many to list....
Rain-X and 120 MPH.... that'll do it. Every time. :)

I admit I am spoiled by my wagon and hatchbacks with the rear wiper, though.
