anybody use a Bugflector?

Quote from whatevah

Man, this seems like such a noob question, but... does anybody have experience with a Bugflector on a Wrangler? Do they work? My windshield met a ton of bugs on my trip, and the lousy washer fluid nozzle design only covers the top half of the windshield. Drove me crazy, since i can't stand a dirty windshield! I'm wondering if one of those hood guard things would help for next years trip...

Just like smoking cigarettes, bugflectors are good for you and make you look cool. I really doubt that they may any real difference on a flat windshield.

If you get one like mine, yes it would help.
You might be able to get plexiglass and other parts to make your own.

I have a cheapo WADE deflector on my JK and it does make a slight difference. I won't jinx myself by saying it but I had to replace my orginal windshield before owning a deflector from all the chips and eventually cracks. I'd probably fork up a couple more bucks for a better one if I bought a new deflector.

I think clear paint protection is the best way to go. Its a clear 3m film that protects the front of the hood. Bug deflectors really only protect the front of the hood. They dont prevent bugs from hitting the windshield, or so I've read.

Like most things in life there's no free lunch.

The non-aerodynamic ones certainly deflect a lot of stuff up and over. But they probably cost something in mpg.

The smooth curved ones help some in my opinion. You can tell when driving in snow.

if its the windshield dirt you are worried about, try using scrub blades (scrubblade.com) ive been using them for 6 years now between the FJCruiser and the JK. they are designed to clean as they wipe, and work awesome on flat windshields pair it with rainX at each oil change, and RainX washer fluid you are good to go.
