"Warped" Bugflector II

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue...

I got a Bugflector II for my 2016 Tacoma, and after a couple months I noticed that from the driver seat, it appeared 'warped'... not symmetrical across the hood from left to right.

I thought maybe it was just because of the perspective of where I was seated, but after moving to the center of the truck, it looked warped from left to right.

So i contacted Lund and they sent a replacement. SAME THING right from day one.
So I'm not sure if there's pressure on it somewhere that's causing it to bow or what.

 

maybe its the mounting holes? seriously though, have no idea. Can you capture it on picture and post it up?

A couple of days ago I pulled my bug guard off the truck. I can honestly say I like the look better without it.

 

Not a GREAT photo, but the best I can get from my perspective. The mounting holes seem to lineup okay, but now that you say that i did have to push ever so slightly on the deflector for a couple of them. but it didn't seem to alter the shape.

 

Is it warped before you install it? If not, then I bet your mounting holes are slightly off.

If straight before mounting-- When you mount it, attach all mounting screws very loosely-- just enough to hold it on. Verify correct shape and tighten each screw just 1/4 to 1/2 a turn and move to the next. Repeat until all are tight.

If you fully tighten one screw, then bend or arc the deflector to match a second mounting hole, that may be where the problem is. Of course, i suppose it's possible one of the holes is simply mis-aligned.

 

Can definitely see the change in lighting on the edge of the guard. +1 to harpolith's info.
See? that would bug the crap out of me - but then again, my OCD is pretty bad lol. After messing with it I'd probably pull it off and post it up on Craigslist.

 

or better yet, get a clear vinyl wrap on the leading edge or paint protection film. the benefit of the film, it form fits way better than a bug shield and you don't have to worry about it ever rubbing your paint.
