They work just fine if you have a roof rack, else why would toyota build trucks with spoilers and roof racks?
It also acts to push exhaust fumes out the back window, so you don't get that bad smell and eye stinging exhaust while the back window is open.

I'm not talking factory roof cross bars, i'm talking additional racks above them. I guess i'm alone and my roof rack is extra good at ruining the aerodynamics over the roof.

Lol on mine it does work by reducing dust. When i first got my truck i was constantly cleaning the inside cause it was sucking in dust all the time. Then when I had my new hatch put on it had one on it and now it doest suck in as much dust. Its kinda cool.

If you are asking about the rear wind deflector, yes it does make a difference by reducing the amount of dust and water that would otherwise end up on the rear window.
If you are like me and couldn't bear the thought of drilling into your rear hatch, you should also consider the Jaos Rear Spoiler. I think that they look awesome and I wanted something to make my rear more complete. They are a bit pricey though. Around $320, but worth every penny IMO. If you are interested, I got mine from burtmanindustries.com

Exposed metal is always susceptible to rust. Collect shavings, de-burr the holes, and apply a rust-resistant primer to the newly exposed metal areas. Paint over the primer if you wish.

Here's something to get that rear end looking good.
Burtman Industries
We widened the legs to cover the old holes from the Toyota unit, if you have it. Can't be stolen, and can be taken through the car wash

90%+ of 3rd gens came with the metal delfector on them. It's pretty rare to see one without. The issue is they rust out, and many like the new filberglass rear wing with LED since it updates the truck.

It's one of the reasons people go for these. Japan JDM style rear spoiler 3-4 days to make, then will ship out, 2-3 days to ya.
Besides the other reason - making it look more current with other suv's of today.

Oh, it does help with more downforce over the factory unit, but you must be going 90 mph+ - and less dust buildup, but these are mainly bought for looks.
