    Was all set to put on my new AVS Lo Pro matte hood deflector today. Open the box and find the thing cracked in two.

    Sorry to hear that! Its the worst! Not sure if it's Amazon or the vendors fault. I had issues with my AVS in channel a while back. I had to replace two sets. Of course the exchange process was easy. Just annoying.

    I too ordered a wind deflector for the hood and it was cracked. It was replaced quickly with very little hassle

    I was half joking at the inconvenience, but there was no packing at all in the 8 x 6 box, so it was not surprising this thin deflector was able to kill itself on the ride to my house.

    When I got mine, the box was at least 3 times bigger with no packing material and out came a small shrink wrapped piece of cardboard.

    The message is: dont let your packages sit around for a couple of days before you open it, or you might have a sad day
