This bug shield was easy to install. The installation instructions were clear and easy to understand. This bug shield has met all my expectations after two summers of Arizona heat & over 10,000 miles.

Perfect fit & easy to install. Start to finish maybe 20 minutes. Love it.

Its been working out great. Installed on our Ford E-450 Super Duty motorhome. Extremely easy to install and very satisfied with unit.

I am so happy with my Weather Tech Bug Shield. Shipping was quick and installation was easy. It fits like a glove on my motor home and looks terrific. I would definitely order again for any of my needs. Thank you!
by:
Great quality, good fit overall…BUT, once again WeatherTech is “cheaping out” on their fasteners! Those ridiculous plastic push pin type fasteners DO NOT inspire confidence at all…the etrailer installation video acknowledged this. Come on WeatherTech…these things are IMPORTANT!!

2018 Toyota Rav4 Adventure. Item arrived quickly! The shipping box was damaged but the defector inside was fine. The product was described as on the website.
Only complaint really is with WeatherTech they are know for great products but screw up in other areas. They shrink wrap the defector and they really need to cover it before doing that because mine had a few scratches. The next things is the plastic fastener screws are too cheap and break and need to be longer.

Item arrived quickly and was as described. Only complaint was that the plastic fastener screws were either too short or too cheap because they wouldn't "catch" in the fasteners. I substituted my own screws and then it was a breeze. That isn't etrailer.com's fault though. Everything on their end was great!

I’ve owned six chevy trucks. My current trusted steed is a 2008, silverado 2500HD, ext cab, long box. I bought it new and now have 339,000 miles on her. I added this bug shield to offer more protection and grace. It worked! Love it.
by:
Installation was easy and after a year, including one Northern WI winter, its holding up well.
by:
As expected; the self tapping screws are not going in easy

Part looks great. Well represented in pictures. Shield was easy to install with included instructions.
I would buy this product again.

Really great product and a perfect hood protector from road rocks and bugs.
by:
2011 Ford Van
Very nice profile & a perfect fit for my 2011 E350 Super Duty. Came with a few scratches, so we got that outta the way. All screws provided are steel. Really not thinking that the bumpers provided are needed for this application. Time/Miles will tell.
by:
Fit perfectly! Except shipping box need to be stronger. Easy to install and made in the USA.

Quick delivery. Quick and easy installation. Fits perfect and looks great. Recommend

The deflector itself is of good quality but the mounting hardware (plastic) sucks and caused me to engineer my own fasteners.

I would NOT purchased from Weather Tech again and believe etrailer should stop selling their products… The provided (4) fasteners have what felt like plastic, very finely threaded, undersized screws. In order to install the fasteners you have to apply a significant amount of pressure to the screw head. Three of the four screws just slid into the fastener and did not enlarge the buried section of the fastener enough to secure the bug shield to the hood (to the point that the hood would not even latch because the bug shield was held on so loosely). I tried several other of my own fasteners with varied results. I finally found some screws that were about 2-3 times the diameter and had much more aggressive threads. I had to cut them down to size and file the ends smooth. When I applied pressure to these screws the fastener sunk to the correct depth and the screws were large enough to cause the buried portion to spread out and anchor the bug shield to the hood. Surprise! The hood now closed properly at this point and the shield felt like it was attached solidly. From start to finish I spent about two hours trying various fasteners. At one point I considered drilling new holes in the bug shield and using screws and washers to attach it, but I was so frustrated with the installation that I was strongly considering returning the product. I eventually put two and two together and figured out the issue was the provided incorrect size, plastic screws that weren't working. Once I replaced them with the thicker screw with larger threads it all came together.

I will have the manufacturer reach out to you.

I have purchased and used WeatherTech products in the past, always had good quality and concise installation instructions. I recently added the Stone and Bug deflector on my 2019 Colorado, it looks great. Having a new windshield installed because of a stone crack, hope to avoid these in the future.

Bought a bug deflector for my daughters F-350 Super Duty. Arrived really fast and the install was almost 10 minutes. LOL So easy and looks real good. I buy all the stuff for her horse trailer from etrailer. Did the brakes last year, so easy.

Great and still looks like new.

This bug guard could not have been any easier to put on my GMC 2009 1500. The piece from the factory simply fell off my truck and I need to put something over the holes in the hood. I went to the WeatherTech site and found that I could have purchased for a less then what I paid at etrailer. A lot less, that's my only gripe. Shipping was super and timing was great too.

Weather Tech products are great fit and finish. Etrailer shipped my bug shield order out quickly and arrived undamaged. This is not my first order from Etrailer. I’ve bookmarked their web page and they are one of my vendors of choice when I need something for our RV.

After a year on the vehicle and a lengthy camping trip last season. The bug deflector still looks like new. I’ll also add I noticed my class C RV drives down the road better. I think because the deflector is causing less wind to build up under the front cap and windshield.

by:
I purchased this bug deflector for my Jayco Greyhawk motorhome about a year ago and it has held up beautifully. I am sure that without it I would have chips and issues on the motorhome after putting 15k miles on it. Thanks e-trailer for quick shipments and great support.

Great! Holding up just fine and works like it’s supposed to. Really keeps from getting rock chips on the hood.

by:
The bug deflector fit perfectly on my 2021 Coach House Platinum 272xl. I’m very happy with the deflector!!!
by:
Had this bug deflector for a year now. Very happy with it. Easy to install yourself using existing parts on the stock truck. Better than the adhesive only on other brands. Solid and looks great.

Happy with the purchase. No issues with the shield, looks great and holding up well.

by:
I ordered a bug deflector specific for my truck but this one seemed to be a generic for GM trucks. the tabs did not fit properly for the underside of my hood. The double sided tape did not match properly to the underside of the hood and the tape was not sticky enough to adhere to the metal. The outboard retainer clips were not the proper style to clip to my hood and stay in place. Road vibaration causes the clips to disengage each time I drive the vehicle

It is unusual that the bug shield is not fitting for you. I want to help figure out what may be happening. Would you be able to send me a picture of how it looks on the truck. Do you have the ZR2 model of the Chevy Colorado?

by:

I can't say enough about the customer service. I have a 2018 E-450 RV and very hard to find items for it. I contacted weathertech asking them if they had a bug/rock shield for my vehicle, they could not confirm they had one that would fit. I contacted etrailer and they assured me the same (weathertech) one they had would fit so I ordered it. I didn't open the shipment box until several weeks after the item arrived and when I did the item was damaged. I contacted them and sent a few pictures. They sent me a new one that arrived the next day along with a return receipt for the damaged item. Just awesome service taking care of their customers. I have big $$ items to purchase for the RV (steering stabilizer, front and rear sway bars) that no doubt I will order from etrailer.
