E450 AllTerrain rear “wickerbill”?
I’ve noticed that the rear of the car is much dirtier than any other area - seemingly the aero wash from the area above the rear glass. Anyone have experience with any factory or aftermarket attachment that would direct the air beyond the rear hatch?

Good luck with trying to prevent that. Both my AT as well as the Volvo V90 I own had the same issue. Aerodynamics are against you.

Agreed! I'll wash the car and 3 miles later the back is covered with dust. I've seen spoilers for W213 wagons and wondering whether they change that airflow enough to reduce that action and whether those manufacturers will Make W214 wagon spoilers.

Found that the 2026 E53 Estate indeed has a small spoiler as OEM. Its part number is 214-790-00-999 (paint code = unpainted). It’s embarrassingly priced at $1200 … but I’m still searching.

Found one. Installed it yesterday. And my first outing with a 50 mile round trip with half interstate and remaining local roads - the amount of dirt on the rear is substantially reduced.

If that showed substantial improvement, then they E450 All-terrain must be truly horrendous. The back of my E53 wagon is a hot mess.
