Driver side bug deflector

[Skitch]

I don’t want to sound like I am whining here but has anyone come up with a good way to deflect bugs from smacking you in the face or landing in your lap while driving down the road? I just bought my second Jeep Wrangler after driving my first for 9 years. I am a photographer and carry expensive equipment around, preventing me from taking everything off my Jeep. So, during the summer I like to have my windows down, like any normal person would,lol.
I think my new JL is worse then my old JK was as far as sending all of those”buggers” into my lap or face. I keep thinking that some day I am going to have an accident.
I love? my Jeep. I don’t want to smash it up. Has anyone thought of a good way to deflect tiny and not so tiny critters? I have researched the internet and come up with nothing. Help!!!

I've never experienced that on the two that I've owned. Is it possible that your rain gutter thing could be a cause?

OK so I'm not the only one that's had this happen... lol. Doors on or off I usually take a hit every now and again. One time I got out of the Jeep and saw the bugger glues to my B pillar. Really nothing you can do about it IMO.

I typically keep my Jeep sealed up. The only advice I can offer is 3D Bug Remover spray + microfiber towels for de-gluing the critters!

The spray is seriously magic. Makes even the toughest of insect splats wipe off effortlessly.

The rain gutter is not the issue. The bugs hit my side mirror and get tossed into my window when open. And when my window is up, I have bugs splats on that. I even have a wind guard along the top part and the front of my door, but they still come flying through the gap between that and my mirror. And with enough force to splatter on my window if it is open.

I hadn't heard about others having that issue so I was looking for ways in which yours deviated. A rain gutter would obviously change the way air flowed around that corner, but I'm guessing you had the issue prior to putting that on.

I did have the issue before I put those one
