WeatherTech Stone and Bug Deflector

Feedback on using this product on a 2020 Tacoma.

 

anyone purchase this? Reviews?

 

I just bought one for my 2014. It will be here today. I'll install it this weekend and let you know how it is.

 

I bought one and put it on. Looks fine, I wanted it for function and yesterday when it was pouring you could see that no wind was going off the hood at 80 mph. I have noticed much less bug splatter and dust on the windshield. Does its job for sure and super easy to install even for a rookie like me.

 

I ordered one but they sent me the stick on hood protector instead.. Trying to get the screw on bug and stone deflector exchanged for the one they sent me.

 

Weather Tech seems to be having problems in the shipping department. They sent me the wrong mud flaps twice. Either they are hiring mental midgets or they just don’t care.

 

I've come to the conclusion WeatherTech is overpriced but very well marketed.

Some products I've used in the past have been fine, but now that they've moved into the world of gizmos both quality and the business delivery seem to have slipped.

To @Dedko, doesn't mean you shouldn't use one. Just that you should shop other products as well.

IMHO they (all brands) are ugly stuff and ruin the lines of the truck. However, when I lived in a very rural area I ran one just to save the leading edge of my hood.

 

Just got an email from them saying they are sending the replacement and I can "destroy" the original.. If I wind up with an extra i'll post it here....""Based on the information you have supplied we will not need to pick up the WeatherTech Low Profile Bug Shield that you currently have. Please go ahead and Field Destroy the item (example: crush, recycle, trash, etc.). We will process your reorder at this time. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns that need to be addressed.

 

What they are saying is that the return shipping is more than what the item costs use to manufacture, sell and ship to the customer. Or it could have said, we way overcharge for this product so giving it away doesn't bother us at all.

 

Pretty much

 

Correct.. I had a buyer lined up here.. but UPS wanted Over a hundred bucks for shipping and Post office wanted 85.20. for coast to coast shipping.. its' the size of the box that kills ya.. 12x8x55 @ 4.4 lbs.

 

Received the bug deflector and installed it today.. Took about 5 min. Perfect fit.
Now I'm stuck with an extra hood protector.. the adhesive version. Would love to find a home for it but the shipping estimates are crazy.. 100 bucks for UPS and 86.00 for Post office .. Guess I'll try to find a local buyer.. I just want it out of the garage.

 

Looks good! So it just bolts on then? I'd be interested if you notice less bug splatter on the windshield now? I'd also wonder how that thing would hold up in a car wash with a motor dryer...

 

Bolts into existing holes in the hood. White plugs are provided and insert into the holes. Then you just attach with screws provided. Has already survived car washes with no issues.
