Hood Deflectors
Hood deflectors work by altering the actual aerodynamics of your vehicle. The strip of acrylic that attaches to the front of your vehicle creates an upstream of air in front of your vehicle as you drive. This upstream sweeps bugs, small rocks, and other debris up and over your vehicle. While the deflector won’t be able to turn everything away from your hood and windshield, it will make sure that most debris won’t even touch your vehicle.
The effectiveness of bug deflectors, or bug shields, is often up for debate. That’s because there isn’t a great deal of evidence proving, or disproving, how effective they are at their job.
The quality of a bug deflector isn’t just determined by its shape. The angle it sits at will also tell you how effective it is. If the angle is too steep, to the point where it’s sitting upright on your hood, it won’t be able to change the airflow around your car enough to make a difference. You’ll run into the same problem if the deflector is angled too flat.
Finding a good bug deflector design isn’t always as straightforward as finding a good shape or angle. There are steps you, the consumer, can take to make sure you’re getting a quality deflector for your truck’s windshield. Good bug shields are molded using computational fluid dynamics software, then wind tunnel tested. This is a lengthy, expensive process, and there can be no shortcuts when developing a quality product. Only buy bug deflectors you know have been wind tunnel tested.
