[Bedd]

Anyone know of any bug deflectors that actually work?

Well, for sure they absolutely protect the leading edge of the hood from chips.... Yes, they give the vehicle they are on a different look.... a bit of contrast which is often a plus...

Do they deflect bugs and maybe even small pebbles...... sure undoubtedly they deflect a few but to say they deflect all or most might be deemed laughable by many.

With that said... I truly like the one I installed a couple of years+ ago.. 36,000+ miles.

It has weathered well, not faded or come loose. It has deflected some bugs and pebbles... No chips on my hood..

The one I purchased installed easily and has NO logo, again no logo on it which was important to me. I purchased for the look and not necessarily that it would be truly functional..

I have had the low one like pictured by Rhinebeck01 and went through two windshields. Then I purchased another one that is higher and has more of a bulbous shape that points up(you insert these rubber bumps in back of it to strengthen the shield) I can actually say I witnessed a small stone get carried up and over the rig!!!! Now It may not always ...but in this instance I Was very happy not to be ordering another windshield. I actually just installed the Racing Optics tear away laminate for the windshield also. So hopefully the cracks/ chips and bull shit of replacing it every other month is done. I Keep my rig clear from others when driving.. never tailgate..never drive behind any Trucks and yet the screen is a magnate for stray debris. So in short I do believe the hood contraption helps reduce the amount of debris the screen normally would intercept.
