Abstract:
A rear windshield gutter assembly includes a vehicle that has a rear windshield, a rear surface and a rear windshield wiper that is positioned on the rear windshield. The rear windshield wiper includes a wiper fluid dispenser that selectively releases a fluid onto the rear windshield for cleaning the rear windshield. A gutter is coupled to the vehicle and is aligned with the rear windshield. The gutter captures the fluid when the fluid is released onto the rear windshield and directs the fluid to a predetermined drain location. Moreover, the gutter inhibits the fluid from running down the vehicle thereby enhancing visual appearance of the vehicle with respect to inhibiting streaks caused by the fluid on the vehicle.

Claim (Index 6):
A rear windshield gutter assembly being configured to direct windshield wiper fluid away from a rear surface of a vehicle, said assembly comprising:\n a vehicle having a rear windshield, a rear surface and a rear windshield wiper being positioned on said rear windshield, said rear windshield wiper including a wiper fluid dispenser selectively releasing a fluid onto said rear windshield for cleaning said rear windshield; a gutter being coupled to said vehicle and being aligned with said rear windshield, said gutter capturing said fluid when the fluid is released onto said rear windshield and directing the fluid to a predetermined drain location, said gutter inhibiting the fluid from running down said vehicle wherein said gutter is configured to enhance visual appearance of said vehicle with respect to inhibiting streaks caused by the fluid on said vehicle, said gutter having a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly therefrom, said outer wall being aligned with and being coextensive with a perimeter of said bottom wall, said outer wall having a first side and a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall defining an opening into said gutter, said first side being coupled to said rear surface of said vehicle having said gutter being aligned with and being coextensive with an intersection between said rear windshield and said rear surface, said gutter being positioned beneath said rear windshield wiper, said bottom wall having a drain extending therethrough for draining the fluid from said gutter; and a hose being fluidly coupled to said drain and extending to said predetermined drain location, said hose directing the fluid to said predetermined drain location when the fluid drains from said gutter.
