Hood Deflector Protector Fit for Ford Bronco 4-Door & 2-Door 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Trail Armor Textured Black Hood Guard Shield Bug Deflector

Bronco hood protector perfect for easy install

First off, I was very generous leaving a 5 Star rating as with most automotive items anymore these have an inferior adhesive tape either due to thickness or adhesion ability. I liked the design, and the fitment is excellent, but after reading the reviews of the wind deflector flying off of the hood after a short period of time, I was prepared to look into the issue that others have dealt with and find a way to correct the problem. It appears that the leading outside edge of the deflector has a small, raised border ridge. While it is not raised very high, it is raised higher than what the double stick mounting tape is thick, so in essence the tape does not make a firm contact with the hood of the vehicle. I removed the red protective plastic cover from the tape that is supplied and attached to the deflector then applied a second layer of STRONG double stick tape on top of their tape. With the double thickness of tape, it provides a strong solid connection to the vehicle. Follow the basics of cleaning the surface of your vehicle and then wipe it down with alcohol to remove any wax or other surface impurities. I placed the deflector on the hood of the Bronco and centered it on the hood then marked the center point with a soft lead pencil as a guide for mounting it once the tape is ready to be pulled once in place. Before mounting the deflector to the hood but after the cleaning stage I started the Bronco and allowed it to come up to temperature which also brought up the temperature of the hood surface, as the heat helped to bond the tape to the surface of the hood. I would occasionally later in the day walkout and press down on the edge of the deflector just adding a little additional pressure as the hood cooled and the tape set up solid. The design and fitment are spot on correct. I like the raised portion that runs from side to side adding an extra aerodynamic lift as the air flow is directed above the windshield. Hopefully it will also carry any small rocks, gravel or road trash right along up and over the glass wall that the Bronco calls a windshield.

Great product! It arrived quickly and looks just like the pictures. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I am specifically writing this review to confirm fit for my '23 Big Bend Sasquatch edition 2 Door. The afternoon I received this, it was in the 80's, warm and sunny. I cleaned the area with isopropyl alcohol & then applied the 2 adhesive promoters that comes in the package. Because I have done this a few other times with Jeep Wranglers, I had confidence to install this without any markings with painters tape. My technique is to set it down and get a visual, remove the edge of each piece of tape and put one side down. As I put one side down, I run my finger along the edge of the hood and make sure it is right where it needs to be to reach the other side. Remove the other "side" tapes and then go back and remove both long pieces, applying pressure with a towel along the way. I had 5 plastic clamps that I placed along the edges, 2 of them being on the sides. I had the clamps on for about 3hrs and it was perfect. I recommend doing this on warm sunny days, using clamps & giving it some hours before attempting to drive and put wind on it. Most people fail at this project because they simply aren't patient enough to let it sit and do its thing. Plan it on a day off of work and you will be fine! This hood deflector is solid and can definitely see it lasting the life of my Bronco. Its just as good, if not better than the ones I used on my Wranglers. It will deflect a lot of bugs and rocks...but take the advice I always received.....to not follow so closely to everyone on the highway.... You have a Bronco, not a sportscar!

Looks great. It will not come off. Also it’s the first one that really works against bugs. Will not break. 2024 bronco attack. nice addition.

I have a 2023 2-door, and this fit perfectly, installed in about five minutes. Looks great, now let’s see if it actually prevents any more cracked windshields. Update March 25-while driving down the highway this flew off my hood. So far I can’t tell if there is any damage from the tape.

The tape is already not holding the deflector in place. I washed the hood and used alcohol wipes to have a 100% clean surface prior to installing. Now I have to research and figure out how to remove it without damaging the paint. Why can't these be built like they used to be and attach under the hood instead of useless tape. Wouldn't recommend this product. Update August 2024....finally had to remove it completely. Adhesive is worthless on items like this...Definitely a DONOT purchase.

The item arrived with no alcohol prep wipes and no adhesion promotor wipes. Fits okay.
