What are bug shields and how do they work?Bug shields are aerodynamically designed to manage the airflow of your SUV in directing insects, rocks, and other debris away from your windshield for its protection and yours. Made from durable materials, the bug shields take the impact of the items you encounter on the road, and its far easier, and less expensive, to replace them than your windshield. With a great selection of colors and designs, the shields can even complement your SUVs appearance while providing great protection.
How are automotive shields and deflectors mounted?Automotive bug shields and deflectors are mounted on vehicles using either double-sided tape or screws to secure them. Read the details of any bug shield youre interested in to see its method of installation.
Bug deflectors that use screws are normally shaped to use a sleeve that tucks under the hood or have brackets that do. This ensures the holes in the brackets line up with the preexisting ones where the grille or hood molding is fastened. Then youd just remove the trimming, secure the deflector there, and put everything back in its place.
Bug deflectors secured with tape use 3M&trade, which is automotive-grade, double-sided foam tape. The foam tape is strong enough that many automakers use it for the application of trim on their vehicles. Strong, durable, and able to withstand changing temperatures, the tape makes installing bug deflectors simple with its peel-off backing.
What are low-profile shields?
Low-profile, often called off-the-hood bug deflectors, match the vehicles design in such a way that they really blend in. Fitting close to the hood, they appear to be additional detailing. Newer cars have lower hood lines making them vulnerable to damage from flying rocks and debris and bug shields help reduce that immensely. They are great idea for cars and trucks of all makes, models, and years to minimize damage not only to the paint but also to the windshield.
What are standard bug shields?Standard bug deflectors are more prominent. They are set further away from the hood with a stronger, more noticeable angle. Standard bug shields are ideal if you live in warmer climates where insects are larger as they are better able to handle the larger objects than low-profile types.
