The back of our 2021 GLE AMG 63 S despite ceramic coated car gets filthy. Years ago I had a rear roof top spoiler the worked pretty good at
minimizing this problem. Does any have a source for something like this?
TIA

Now that you say that, I have noticed that the rear of my current GLE doesn’t seem to get as dirty on the rear as my old (W166) GLE. I wonder if it is because I have the MB rear roof spoiler or maybe I just don’t drive as much now. I can’t help you as to where to get it other than going to a dealership and just ordering the “factory” one. It appears to be just stuck on the top of the existing small spoiler.
Good luck.

I believe all AMG's come standard with the roof spoiler- at least mine did.

Our GLE 63 S is stock and I guess that is a spoiler above the back window it just isn't very aggressive and does almost nothing for the back end.

I assume the OP is talking about the optional D11 spoiler? $600 VPC installed, but used to be available as an accessory (would have to be painted, though). This is not stock on the 63, is it?

Neurobit

Nope. Not stock (I’ve yet to see one out on the road on any V167).

My 63 S def does not have one of these. What is VPC?

GregW / Oregon

Vehicle Preparation Center where cars go between plant and dealer. I believe there is one at the plant in Alabama. For imported cars it is at the port facility. Accessories are installed there and shipping damage repaired.

Mine came with this spoiler and was a dealer stock car when I found it.

Does it help keep the back clean?

Daso

I don't think it does unfortunately, for some reason the back of my GLE seems to be a dirt magnet, especially on the sill where the hatch closes. The spoiler does look nice but I thought this spoiler comes with every AMG body.

My GLE 300d had install Mercedes Benz Original Rear roof spoiler and Mercedes Benz Original Mud flaps separately.
I think after install Mercedes Benz Original Mud flaps can help the back of my GLE seems much cleaner.

I have a rear spoiler on my GLE 350. It was a factory installed option, costing $650 , I believe. Since I had taken a vehicle out of dealer inventory, I had no choice in selecting the options I wanted and the ones I did not want to purchase. Personally, I would have not chosen the rear spoiler, as I don’t believe that it does that much in enhancing the look of the GLE. I do however notice that the back of the car is the first place to get noticeably dirty, it is a white car. I am not sure if the spoiler has an effect either way in the level of dirt on the tailgate. I gave my GLE a ceramic waxing, with one of the do it yourself brands, and this surface dirt washes off easily. These ceramic products seem to be quite good. I’m sure that if you had your GLE professionally done, it is most likely even better. Coincidentally, I had just started taking notice of the dirt on the tailgate area, which most likely means that for some aerodynamic reason, that’s where it goes. As always, enjoy your new vehicle.

so I did the full ceramic pro on my GLE with the above spoiler and as you mentioned , the back and lip of rear bumper are often the dirtiest. Maybe the spoiler forces water down the back as well. Not sure. I actually like the look but don’t expect any performance from it.

I have one of these spoilers unpainted. Question, how does it get installed. Looks to me like it has tape to secure it to the stock spoiler.

GregW / Oregon

Yes, I believe it is only 3M type mounting tape. That's fairly standard for spoilers.

The back end of SUVs are basically squared off, thus they create a strong low pressure region from airflow separation at speed. In English, it is a dust vacuum, not magnet-- literally.

Cheers!

Tape is going to hold a spoiler with so much wind pressure hitting it?

GregW / Oregon

Yes, it will.

I have the D11 Roof Spoiler. In 2020, it was a $600 optional equipment. It was included in the MSRP/window sticker but was never installed from VPC along with the D27 Wheel Locking Bolts ($150) and the D26 Load Sill Guard ($150).

So I've seen the D11 spoiler uninstalled first hand and it comes with 2 bolts protruding from both ends plus double-sided tape all around it. The MB dealership doesn't even install them and get sent out to another MB-certified body shop.

NOTE: If you have a white GLE with the Night Package, the spoiler will be black, instead of body color.

Both 2023 GLE 450 White with the Night Package that I have seen, have White Roof Spoilers....

GregW / Oregon

The bolts may be true for the typically VPC installed spoiler, but I believe the one you can order from the parts department is tape only. The description I posted above states as much; "it is simple to secure in place using special adhesive tape."

stephencs601

The spoiler does have what appears to be two bolts on either corner, but that would mean you have to drill thru the existing spoiler to secure it. hat I would not do, so I guess the tape is the answer for the 2023 model year.

The order I took over had this on the build sheet. I didn't want it but it could not be changed. It later came without it because of part shortage. I'm so glad it didn't come with it. IMO it looks awkward. Looks like a spoiler on top of a spoiler. To answer the topic, the back has been fine to me. The wheels are what get dirty very fast and pain in the behind to clean.

Steve Armstrong

Correct. And the MB Service Department didn't like doing these (at least the one I went to), so mine got sent to an MB-authorized body shop.
