Keep the Wind out of Your Face with Wind Deflectors
The aftermarket auto parts market is well noted with creating
some outstanding products. Some of the more popular creations
include, brake dust shields to keep unsightly dust off of your
wheels; car covers to protect your car from impacts, pollution,
debris, and more; step rails to help you get in and out of your
truck easier; and many other products. Wind deflectors are
another product that is catching on. Read on for more
information on what a wind deflector is and what it does to
protect your vehicle.
Wind deflectors, also known as bug deflectors, are showing up on
more vehicles across North America. Installed horizontally
across the front most section of your vehicle's hood, deflectors
are noted with accomplishing several things when the vehicle is
driven down the road:
Bugs are deflected away from the hood as well as the
windshield of the car. This prevents harmful and even
dangerous splatter from accumulating on the hood of your car or
on your windshield. If you ever have driven in the southern US,
you know exactly what I mean: the insect population can dirty up
your windshield faster than your wipers can remove bug splatter.
This is especially true when driving at dusk. That can spell
disaster when you absolutely, positively need clear vision.
Debris on roads and passing vehicles is knocked away.
Have you ever driven down the interstate and seen a rock
bouncing along the road toward your vehicle, taking aim at your
windshield? A properly installed shield will deflect small
objects and send them to the side or up and over the roof of
your car before serious damage can occur. Your inexpensive wind
deflector just saved you the hundreds of dollars it would have
cost you to have your windshield replaced. Factor in the time
lost, too!
When selecting a wind deflector, choose one that is made of
premium-grade acrylic to ensure that it will last and be strong
enough to deflect small objects. Most bug shields come in smoke
or clear colors, the latter allowing you to paint your deflector
whatever color you want.
Top brands of wind deflectors are those produced by Lund,
Deflecta, and Bugflecta. Shop online through a reputable
wholesaler, such a Car Parts Stuff, to find the widest selection
of bug deflectors available at the lowest prices.
