The tailgate on the Up! is glass. Is it also glass on the Citigo and Mii, or metal? We don't have them in Aus to compare with.I personally don't like the big piece of black glass there.

The Citigo and Mii have a metal tailgate.

 

[gary02tdi]

The up! has a triple skinned tailgate

Inner is metal
middlle is metal
outside is the glass


The mii and cicigo may only have a double skinned tailgate?

The up! has a once-piece glass outer skin, whereas the CitiGo and Mii, have an upper glass window, and lower metal outer skin. All three have the same middle/inner skins.

Has anybody solved the issue with the dirty tailgate? Any Good ideas -how to keep it cleaner for a longer period?

Yep, buckets and wash mitt!

 

[the swede]

OK! It works! And don't drive at all! It Will be clean a long time.

Unless someone can do a wind tunnel test, to see what happens at the back, I reckon we will have to put up with it.....and do what Davec86 suggests! ****...I hate cleaning cars!!!

RainX the entire rear glass area (not just the see-through bit) , repeat then when it rains, all the crap just runs off.

Thank you for the tip! I Will try rainX. In the 80:s I had a fiesta with kind of wings on the sides on my tailgate. I remember it worked pretty good!

I can confirm this is worth while..

I doubt it'll work here - it's dust getting kicked up from the road by the (dirty) looks of it.

 

[the swede]

Is there nobody out there WHO remember the "wings" I am telling you about? They where effective! I will post a picture if I can find one. Cheers!

Yup, I do this also.

 

[the swede]

Can you see them on the sides of the tailgate on the golf?
Once I had a red Golf (not my Golfin the picture)with this kind of "Wings" or what ever they are called.
I also had them on a Fiat Uno. Theyworked good on the Fiat as well.I do not know if they work on an up!
If I could find a pair to buy I would certainly try them on the up!
Anyone who thinks it might keep thetailgate cleaner?

 

[Upmeister]

I'm surprised VW haven't spotted an opportunity and added something like these to their up! accessories list.

If they worked I think they would sell loads (and make a fortune).

 

[Supermegamonkee]

Just wash it regularly

RainX does help as others have posted

You could cover the screen with cling-film and remove it when you stop. problem is recovering it after the car wash.
