If it keeps being a problem why not dewiper and plug the water pipe under the bonnet... Cleaner lines on the back and a dry boot too

Gutting, after all that effort you went to  :sad:

As suggested, dewiper?  Do you use it much?

I think it looks worst with the dirty bit round the outside and the clean bit in the middle, instead of just a dirty window... If it's that bad then get some wipes and clean the hole window

Thats your opinion which your entitled to, clean with wipes? Slightly difficult at 70 on the motorway

Yea just got some glass wipes that I keep in the boot if it's getting dirty just give it a quick clean... I wouldn't suggest doing at 70mph tho  :wink:

I have looked at your thread in the maintenance section and can see quite a few places were the pipe has the possibility to  chaff and rub. Out of respect im not going to point these out as a fellow engineer im not going to tell you how to suck eggs.

Thats when it gets dirty tho on the motorway especially in winter this is where something like a rear windscreen washer would come in very useful

Edging strip on the edges of panels werever it passes near an edge. Some at the top of the hatch I can see in the photos.  I noticed you put some cover on the pipe in a few places but also put some edging strip on the metal holes. Check in the rear quarters too our ibiza had some edges up there when I renewed its pipe a few years back with standard washer hose like you have. You may have simply blown the pipe off. I had to cable tie the joints to stop it blowing off in the winter.
