Yep, the aerodymic brick of a Type II T3 Transporter (and camper) sucks up
all the road crud and spins it into a bunch of tiny tornados. Some of them
slam up against the rear hatch and desposits a certain percentage of their
profits on the back window. Result -- vannihilation of your rear view via
the glass. A little push on dee handle up front and squirto/wipo cleans dee
glass.
