Sticks and stones may break your bones, but bug guts will hit you where it really hurts: your paintjob. Whether you’re on a cross-country trip or just the daily commute, bugs are unavoidable. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to keep them from ruining your vehicle’s finish. Deflect them with bug deflectors.
Unless you’re anal retentive about washing your car after each trip (and make no mistake, we know there are those of you out there), the remnants of bug remains can sit on your finish for days, weeks and even months at a time between washes. Couple that with warmer temperatures, and the toxic goo can quickly bake itself onto your exterior where it begins to oxidize your paintjob.
Bug deflectors add a layer of protection by creating a streamlined jet of air that sails over the top of your vehicle, carrying the winged paint-ruiners up and over. Available in a couple different varieties, including compact and a higher-rising version for extra defense as well as sun deflectors for your sunroof, all models feature a seamless fit and mount with sturdy clips and push-rivets. Plus, bug deflectors feature an off-the-hood installation with no drilling required. This design prevents the build-up of sediment and other debris while making either side extremely easy to clean. In addition, deflectors are built from impact-resistant acrylic, easily standing up to flying rocks and road debris while never rusting or oxidizing.
A close cousin to bug deflectors, vent visors do for your windows what bug deflectors do for your front end. Also known as rain guards, they divert rain and excessive wind noise, allowing you to keep your windows open while driving without having to shout over the sound of the wind or worrying about damaging elements ruining your interior. Upgrades like Ford window deflectors, a Dodge Ram rain guard and various other window deflectors add an aerodynamic element to your windows that channels the airflow away from your vehicle, reducing wind noise and providing a quieter, more relaxing drive.
Window deflectors are engineered to match any existing bodyline and designed for your specific make, model and year, adding a sleek, efficient appearance to your exterior. Similarly, in-channel rain guards are computer-designed for a custom fit that looks factory-installed.
Most kits feature a simple no-drill installation and come complete with specific step-by-step instructions and all the necessary mounting hardware, securing onto the window channel or along the rubber seal with specially-designed automotive tape that’s guaranteed not to ruin your finish (because it never makes contact with it). The only thing easier to install are windshield sun shades!
Window deflectors and bug deflectors are designed vehicle-specific to provide a quality fit and reliable wear. These Chevy accessories and other do-it-yourself auto upgrades provide a highly-affordable alternative to the identical enhancements offered through your dealer…at triple the cost.
