Auto Ventshade[AVS] Bugflector II Hood Shield / Protector | Fits 2020 - 2025 Ford Explorer | High Profile Bug Deflector - 1 pc., Dark Smoke | 24919

This was an easy install, I haven’t had it in long enough to judge the adhesion level, I will update if it doesn’t stick. It blends in with the vehicle, nice and shiny :). Fits my 2021 Explorer.

Worked as stated. Easy to put on.

This is an awesome product. However, read the instruction very carefully before applying the adhesive. Once it is on the car, it can't be removed. Be very careful applying the surface prep solution. I love the final results! It makes the front end of my car look so good.

My first one came and it looked like someone took a pen and engraved in it. Thought it must of just been a bad one. So I exchanged for a new one. The new one is the same.

Installed this on our new Explorer Timberline. Was surprised to find that it is simply a flush fit shroud, rather than having a curl up on the trailing edge to help defect bugs upward with airflow. That said, it was a good form fit and at least it will protect the front face of the hood so I kept it. For now.Subtracted a star because of the time I had to spend cleaning the inside face. A baggie with the prep wipes had been taped to the underside of the shroud with packing tape, which left a lot of adhesive residue when removed. Also a sticker, with the same issue. Because this is semi opaque polymer I was worried it might show in full sun. Took 20 minutes of very judiciously using Goo Gone to clean all that off.Install tips:- In the pic you will see a rubber seam roller on the hood that is quite helpful in applying firm pressure (BEFORE you remove the outer protective film) to the 3M tape to ensure good adhesion.- The online instructions recommend taping off the hood before you prep the surface - DO NOT skip this step IF you use the prep pad; it smells like acetone and it attacks the clear coat. Had I known it was so chemically aggressive I wouldn’t have used it. Having installed a lot of things with 3M automotive tape, I think a good thorough cleaning with alcohol to remove any wax would be sufficient without risking damaging the paint.- Have extra alcohol on hand if you car has been waxed; only one small wipe was provided, which isn’t adequate to remove residual wax from an area that large.- Note the instructions also state not to drive the vehicle for 24 hours; ridiculous. Lawyers hard at work.

No issues

I only gave it 1-3 stars star for several reasons.First, there was no tape included.Second, There was suppose to be six ‎Mechanical Fasteners and there was only five.Third, Was having a difficult time putting it on and the retainers on the Hood Seal (Front, Upper hood lip) kept breaking,Fourth, can't find contact for this to get my missing parts.

Look good

Easy to install...great product

Went on nice and easy. Looks good and saves my hood from getting chipped.

Very impressed. A perfect fit and it looks great! Took 5 mins total to install and love it!
