Rear Windscreen

One thing that annoys me with my vehicle, is the way that road surface spray 'sticks' to the rear windscreen, in the arc of the wiper blade.
Not sure why this happens (it did on a previous earlier model LR)

An endless problem on Australian country roads, get a small squeegee!

For dry weather a small brush does the trick!

I had the same set of problems on my previous Seat Ibiza, & the car before that!

Down under we tend to use the side mirrors as the back window you may as well brick up! It has the clay on it really to be fired the next day by the sun! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Perhaps you need a new wiper blade and some decent screenwash. Mine works OK.

I ended up by cleaning the area thoroughly, and applying some RainX. The water just beads now and does not stick to the glass.
