Rear roof spoiler to min. backwash
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.
Good luck.

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.

VPC
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.

Mercedes-Benz GLE V167 300d
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'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.

Spoiler installation
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).

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.

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.
