Bugflector installation

This is the all plastic one no metal brackets , right? The grommets that came with mine were too small for the holes in the hood so I bought larger ones. Boomtacoma01 , Apr 14, Sockmonkey decal, Billy 's x 4 corners, Eibach coils, Toytec 1.

When it comes to keeping bugs and debris off your hood and windshield, you need a bug shield that can deliver. The AVS Bugflector II Bug Shield is constructed using proprietary, impact resistant ABS material, that offers maximum coverage with its high-profile wrap-around design to stop rock chips and bugs in their path.

It is custom molded with precision engineering to fit your vehicle and comes in a dark smoke finish. The AVS Bugflector II has an easy, no-drill installation that uses screws and fasteners or 3M adhesive to secure to your hood, depending on the vehicle. All the hardware is included. It is easy to clean your hood with the stand away design.

It is also car-wash safe. You can rest easy knowing that it is made in the USA and has a limited lifetime warranty. Depending on the application, it will either use 3M automotive adhesive or screws and fasteners. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call or reference the installation guide PDF below! You should have screws, washers, and anchors, most likely four of each, along with the bug shield itself. Next, take the shield and place it against the raised hood to make sure the profile fits on the front of your hood.

It should line up with the holes on the underside of the hood and still have at least a quarter inch gap on the top side between it and the hood. You definitely do not want an area where the deflector touches or could touch the hood.

Just a short time of contact would leave you with an area where your paint is worn off or damaged. Third, place each of the anchors in the desired holes and begin the screw with washer through the deflector into the anchor. Begin each screw and tighten them about halfway and then take a final look at the deflector to make sure it is centered horizontally and has space at the top of the deflector. Finally, tighten each of the screws hand tight.

Caution, if using a drill for this part be sure not to over tighten the screws which will crack the deflector. If you have no holes for the anchors, or the holes are not in the same areas as on the deflector, refer to the information above as to drilling appropriate holes in your hood. Once you have your deflector installed, be sure to occasionally clean out between it and your hood. If done on a semi-regular basis, a quick spray from a water hose will get pretty much anything out from behind the deflector.

As the deflector ages, you may wish to spray it down with armor-all or another product to keep it from cracking on the surface. Such cracking if let go will cause larger cracks to develop and possibly run to the anchor area. Personal Finance. Related Articles.
