Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the WeatherTech line of Easy-0n Stone Deflector and Bugs Shields. Now here's a look at one of the Easy-0n Bug Deflectors installed. Now these do a great job of following along exactly with the contours of your truck. And they can offer you a lot of protection for that paint up here on the leading edge. You can see it's kind of unique on our Tundra here. The way it really comes up, comes over, it's not blocking any of the ventilation here on the top of the hood.
And still helps to maintain a really good look while giving us a lot of protection.Now, just like on our Tundra here, all of these are designed to be an exact fit for your vehicle, so we're not just taking a universal piece of plastic and trying to bend it and flex it and make it work. This has been designed exactly, just like WeatherTech floor mats, they get an exact map of the front of the vehicle and they can help to ensure that it's going to fit each and every time.Now with this Easy-On system, installation is going to be very, very quick. In our case, it took us maybe five minutes. Two of those we're just cleaning the surface to make sure it was ready. Each application is going to be a little bit different, but generally if we look through the reviews and everything, think five to fifteen minutes is really going to be all the time you need to spend on it.Now to help that installation along, this is going to be, again, custom design, so this hole that's in this tab lined up perfectly with an already existing hole in the bottom side of our hood.
Now some people have given a few complaints about these. They call them screws, but basically what this is is it's just like a push pin fastener. So the outside is going to go in and then you'll push that center in, you really don't have to turn it with a screwdriver or anything like that. Eventually when it is all the way flush like this, you could continue to turn it. So it's not exactly like a screw in that it's threaded, so keep that in mind.
Some people have commented that they don't like the way these fasteners hold and they'll replace that center section with a steel, stainless steel screw of their own. It's kind of going to be up to you, but in our case anyway, on this Tundra, it seems to work out really well.Now also, you can see right along this bottom edge here, most applications you're going to have the double sided foam tape. That gives us a great hold. So while we're traveling down the highway, we don't have to worry about wind getting underneath here and lifting it up or causing any flex.Now, each of their deflectors are made from an aerospace grade acrylic. Acrylic is a very, very durable material.
They say this is something that's virtually indestructible and it's also really good at resisting scratches. And that's going to complete our look at the WeatherTech line of Easy-0n Stone Deflector and Bug Shields.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Weather Tec bug defector is a well designed, well engineered product that fit my F250 perfectly. Installation was simple but it does require the special plastic plug removal tool to prevent tearing the seal. I just happened to have one so it made my job easier. I didn’t want a defector that mounted to the hood with tape. I like the clips much better. However, I would recommend an additional person to help install it. It’s not heavy but it is large. Positioning it where it needs to go and inserting the screws is difficult without help. I did it myself but I could have saved time if I had help. All in all, it took me about 40 minutes to install. It looks nice on the truck but it covers up the Superduty lettering on the hood. Maybe future designs would include those embossed letters. Nevertheless, it looks great and functions well.
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.
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.
Quick delivery. Quick and easy installation. Fits perfect and looks great. Recommend
The bug deflector fit perfectly on my 2021 Coach House Platinum 272xl. I’m very happy with the deflector!!!
Fit perfectly! Except shipping box need to be stronger. Easy to install and made in the USA.
im so glad i picked weather tech bug guard...i liked how it mounted and the instructional videos..had it done in 20 minutes or so. thank you
Part looks great. Well represented in pictures. Shield was easy to install with included instructions.
I would buy this product again.
As expected; the self tapping screws are not going in easy
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.
Really great product and a perfect hood protector from road rocks and bugs.
Installation was easy and after a year, including one Northern WI winter, its holding up well.
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.
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!
Super fast shipping and the best price. Shield arrived in perfect condition. Very easy to install on a 2015 Toyota Highlander with no problems.
Rebecca, the customer service rep was awesome. The communication and follow up was great. Recommended.
Perfect fit & easy to install. Start to finish maybe 20 minutes. Love it.

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.
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!!
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!
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.
