Why Wont My Hood Close with the WT50206 Installed on My 2021 Dodge Durango?
Question:
Hello I installed this deflector on my 2021 Dodge Durango RT and the hood will not close all the way with it on. I removed it and hood closed fine. I’m curious what I can do about this issue

Sorry to hear about your issue with the Weather Tech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector # WT50206. I went ahead and brought this to my attention of my contact at WeatherTech. She said that the adjustment of the bumper seals need to be exactly as pictured in the attached steps from the installation manual. Any minute shifts of these seals can cause the hood not to close. This is most likely the issue. The best route is to readjust the seals to make sure they are centered around the holes.
