Style: Bugflector II - Smoke
I just installed my AVS bug deflector on my 2015 Ford Explorer. I like many have some paint bubbles starting on the hood that Ford does not want to make good on so after doing some touch up paint and then applying a good coat of wax to the hood edge I went to work. All in all, not a bad experience! The deflector came in a box in another box and both boxes looked like they fell off the truck going 90 mph so I was apprehensive that it would be intact. To my surprise it was intact and the parts bag was there as well. I read the instructions and went to work. I would suggest pin removal tool to remove the plastic pins in the part that sits against the metal hood. Once I removed the pins and confirmed the holes were going to match up I went to work installing the bolts to secure the deflector. Once installed the instructions say to turn the hood bumpers up 1.5 times counter clockwise. I tried to close the hood and it would not. I then lowered the hood bumpers and the hood closes like it did before I installed the deflector. I did lower the hood bumpers about a half turn lower than they were prior to installing. I read several posts about the hood not closing and I suspect that due to the instructions being off the hood would not close because it did not for me until I turned them the opposite direction. It took about 15-20 minutes tops to install and that was due to the hood bumpers. I have AVS window vents on my Explorer so everything matches very well! Time will tell if this holds up but, it looks good on the vehicle. ... show more

  • Fits perfect....2012 Explorer. You must read directions, and reviews here.
Style: Bugflector II - Smoke
I installed it tonight. At first, I was having trouble with the hood being hard to close. But then I reviewed the...reviews here. And realized that I forgot an important element of the install. If you've read the reviews here you might have run across the idea of installing the big shield tabs BEHIND the gasket. That is, the ticket. I missed that in the directions...they were not super clear, and the illustration is super small. Anyway, I initially removed the plastic gasket pins, and then installed right over the gasket. It totally worked. And yes...the hood was hard to close. So then I read a couple more reviews....saw a video, and realized that the tabs on the bug shield are suppose to be BEHIND the rubber gasket, right up against the steel of the hood. Then the gasket slips over that tab, and the washer and screw secure it together. And...voila. The hood closes perfectly. Perhaps a slight bit harder than without the shield. But not nearly as hard as when I had it installed with the tabs in FRONT of the gasket. This was no good. Behind the gasket all the way. Super easy. Just as easy to install as I did the first time, but with much better results. I feel like a ding dong that I missed that point in the instructions. I will chalk it up to...unclear instructions, and...I had a few beers before installing ;) ... show more

  • Fairly easy; but not simple
Style: Bugflector II - Smoke
Four plastic clips must be removed. Make sure you line up the deflector bolt holes properly to remove the right ones. It would help greatly to have someone hold the deflector while you screw the self-starting bolts into the holes; but it can be done without assistance.

  • Works, and looks great.
Style: Aeroskin - Smoke
My 2013 Explorer had paint peeling off the aluminum hood edge (like many others) - thanks Ford! Rather than repaint the hood, I fixed the peeling spots with touch up paint, and applied this hood protector. If you follow the instructions carefully, the application took me less than 30 minutes. The dark smoke protector on my black car looks like it was factory installed and actually enhances the look of the car. Problem solved for less than $100, and actually offers additional protection from stone chips and bugs. Did it 2 months ago. Time will tell if the 3M adhesive holds. Use the alcohol prep! ... show more
