WeatherTech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector
Takes all of 3 minutes to install. Exact fit. Plug anchors do not stay in the hood by themselves but I just threaded them on the screws a bit then tightened up once they were in the holes. Attach the bumpers as needed. I needed one right at the end where it was hitting the headlight. Great product and good price

Easy to order, great product and fits perfectly. I have purchased a few of these deflectors for my vehicles and have NOT been disappointed.
Easy to install and looks great.

The deflector itself is fair. They cheaped out and 4 of the 6 mounting screws are plastic. Yes plastic and a poor gauge plastic too considering they have to hold the rubber hood seal in place and prevent wind whistle and debris from entering the Compartment. During the install two of the plastic screws didn't cut, they could not hold the pressure of the rubber gasket and the big deflector had to stop and go find substitute metal fasteners. Additionally, the first one showed up broken in a 2 boxes taped together poorly packed attempt at shipping. Jammed inside the box rubbing all over the long bug deflector were my mudflaps (which are garbage) They sent me out another one but I had to wait an additional week, they didn't even upgrade the shippIng,
Installing the WeatherTech Bug Shield would have been a whole lot easier if the hold down anchors and screws used with the rubber hood seal were long enough to secure the bracket and seal to the hood. I had to use longer plastic anchors and screws to get the brackets secure. This issue was raised in other reviews, so apparently these reviews are never read by anyone at WeatherTech. Otherwise, a very nice useful product.

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!!

It's a great bug deflector Only thing was I had to get longer plastic snaps to hold it onto the hood But a year later it's still on and going strong
Looks great, easy to install...however, the fastening clips provided are way too short and wouldn't work on my truck. They couldn't grip once inserted and wouldn't hold the weight of shield when I attempted to insert the screws no matter what I tried to do. I searched my local Napa, a local body shop ,and my mechanic to find a longer clip that would hold, no one had any longer that would fit in the 3/8 inch holes of my hood. Its a brand new truck and I sure as hell wasn't going to try to drill the holes larger. I ended up at a hardware store and bought dry wall hangers that supported 3/4 inch #8 screws that did the job. I know I have a great warranty on this item and it should last as long as I own the truck, but come on Weathertech, let's get some fasteners that work for a Silverado. I know this isn't the first complaint about the crappy fasteners. If they had worked, I would have given it a five star rating.

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.
