Rear car length mud flap

Just wondering if anyone has dirt issues with backend of HHr. I remember years ago of seeing full width rubber "flap" on many vehicles. Being in the Northeast, winter weather leads to plenty of sanded roads which leads to plenty of dirt and dust buildup on rear of HHr. I have the optional spoiler on the roof and that really doesn't prevent the rear from getting excessive dirt.
No "regular mud flaps yet but will get those soon although that won't prevent the issue I'm having.

Yeah, my rear end is always dirty from all of the salt and fluid from washing the rear window. I don't have the spoiler but I do have the molded splash guards and they don't help any with the rear. I never thought I would be talking about my rear end in public.

lmao @ captain howdy...................

I have the same problem. I have the running boards and the mud flaps are on order thru the dealer. I was hoping they would eleviate some of the mess but it sounds like it might not..........damn.

Rear Spoiler

If you have the rear spoiler, does it at least keep the rear window clean?

Nope

If it was easy owning a cool car everyone would have one.

We're not serious about the motorhome mud flap?..... cause I think its gonna cut into the coolness factor.

I have the same issue with rock salt. I've seen in the city rear bumper covers to prevent scratches. But it looks like something that is not used for driving, but for while having the car parked
