a rubber lip mounted between the bed and cab is the only thing I can think of to stop the ice build up... but then again winter is almost over...
Exactly the issue - that melt off the back window has to go somewhere. Maybe that's it - this is the first truck I've had with a rear defrost. Might do some measurements and see if I can do anything in regards to deflection...

This is HILARIOUS! I'm driving down the road listening to this dang rattle wondering...could it really be that ice??? Easy enough I stopped and broke it out. then I get about 3 blocks away on the highway and all this stuff starts blowing around, up and out of the truck.

I stopped and realized at out little league baseball signups the organizer had stuffed the bag of sample T-Shirts behind my bed extender so there was this fountain of multiple colored little league t-shirts spewing out if my bed on the highway until I could get pulled over!

mine does this as well. No matter how well I clean the snow off from between my toolbox and cab window I still get the rattle. In fact, it's quieter when packed with snow/ice than when I clean it off and leave a little bit in there. It's annoying but something I live with haha. Perks of New England.
