Options for Bug Deflectors

Searched the archives and came up surprisingly empty. From what I gather, these deflectors don't really offer a bug free windshield but do provide protection from rocks and such. Any other opinions out there? Any recommendations for quality units?? Thanks.

Re: Options for Bug Deflectors

The best bug/windshield deflector that I've purchased was "De-Bug" shield by Deflect-a-Shield,it was flat and went across the front contour of the hood.

I had a clear red with chrome molding on my '86 F350 and you could see the bugs,rain & snow flakes just get shot up over the hood and windshield as you were going down the road [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The newer ones that conform to the hood by slope and contour don't as good a job as the flat ones but it does protect the hood from rocks and bugs.Our dealer threw one on our Excursion as part of the deal.

Re: Options for Bug Deflectors

I have the Ford model. It does a okay job and was an easy install. I bought it from the Ford dealer but they are available on Ebay all the time.

Hope this helps,

Re: Options for Bug Deflectors

I put an American Flag bug shield on my new triple black Ex. I was afraid it wouldn't look good on the otherwise black truck but I've gotten a lot of nice comments about it already. I got it from Cabelas online.
