Description
Some of the most exciting adventures happen in windy or wintery conditions. Unfortunately, blustery weather amplifies the impact of road debris on your vehicle, inflicting more damage. But that doesn’t mean you should stay home. Instead, shield yourself from the elements with the Hoodflector and enjoy safer drives on the stormiest days. The Hoodflector provides sleek, aerodynamic protection for the front end of your vehicle with its medium- profile wrap-around design made from hard-as-nails impact-resistant acrylic. Its off-the-hood design easily deflects bugs and road debris at high speeds without obstructing your view from the driver’s seat, and it installs in minutes with 3M automotive-grade adhesive. Available in dark smoke and proudly made in the USA with global materials for trucks and SUVs.

Relatively easy to install. The low profile looks sleek. I hope this product lasts as most of my recent purchases from amazon have been duds. So far, so good…

The shade itself appears well made and does look good however… The Hardware that it comes with is INADEQUATE for the 2003 Ford Explorer. The plastic inserts are not thick enough and fall out. My work around was to wrap the inserts with electrical tape and then insert them into the vehicle’s factory openings before mounting the shade and installing the undersized plastic screws. I will update this post if the product performs poorly. Like I said it does look really nice once mounted though.

This was a piece of cake to install, despite the numb fingers I suffered in the cold. But it’s still attached, and it’s a very sleek way to protect the nose of my hyper-clean ’04 Explorer.

Pretty decent product. I was able to install myself, and I’ve it now for about 4 months and it’s still holding. I got a $10 rebate also with the company so the price I paid was worth it. I would purchase another if this one is ever broken.

This was very easy to install and looks great on my Explorer! I also have the AVS window deflectors so the look was perfect!
