Default plastic window in the rain

When i drive it seems that the rain sticks on my plastic window in the rear, causing my visibility to be zero when i look in my rear view or when i turn around. Is there anything that i can do to make the rain slide off? Does anyone else have this problem?

sorry to be a smart arse, but DONT USE RAINX, a friend of mine used it and he cant see shit out of the rear window, rain or no rain. RAINX has alchohol based products which actually fill in the microscopic holes in the glass surface which will completely screw up your plastic window. I use Turtle Wax Soft top window cleaner, it seems to do the trick, but you need to clean it about once a weeks inside and out to get the best results.

Hope this helps.
