    I probably would get the same, but I Plasti Dipped the deflector, creating more friction.

    I've had one of these in the past on my old truck, Explorer, and my Jeep TJ. The mounting points were under the hood, and the deflectors never touched the hood.

    I've seen some on Amazon that looked like they mounted to the outside, and laid flat on the hood.

    Wouldn't mind getting one as long as it didn't actually touch the outer hood.

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the money saved by using less windshield washer fluid!

    I used that in my old Jeep, and my Nissan.

    Maybe I just had bad luck with it, but it clogged the fuck out of my windshield sprayer nozzles.

    I sure do. Put it on a few days ago. Some of the reviews say theirs arrived warped or without hardware but I had none of those problems. Could not be easier to install, and if you're a prime member you can just send it back fi you don't like it.
