    I've never really understood the purpose of them. They're blocking such a tiny part of the hood so I don't get how they protect anything.

    Supposedly they redirect the stream of air off the hood forcing bugs up over your windshield, instead of on it.

    That makes way more sense. Personally I'd take a few bugs on my windshield than that ugly thing on my hood.

    Tried one on an older Chevy yrs ago... it re-directed the bugs well over the windshield.... ALSO my squirters sprayed each other as they were now in a vortex of swirling air...They did not spray the freakin' window anymore.. Took it off and destroyed with my bare hands... I was happy then...!!

    Never again..
