Mixed feelings
I just want to start off by sayin the quality of the outside clips an the deflector itself is very good quality but the “plastic” body clips that they send to attach the middle of the deflector is down right junk I had to go to hardware store an buy another kind of clip that would work I dnt mind payin for a good quality name brand product but when you do an receive crap like like come on guys get with the program everybody do urself a favor an just buy clips sumwhere else for you even start to install this productVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Weathertech, stick to floor mats!
Weather tech has a great reputation for their laser cut, custom fit floor mats so I did not hesitate when I needed a bug shield for my F 150. I have had bug shields from other manufacturers but figured Weathertech was good quality. Was I ever wrong. Came packaged fine and quickly so cannot fault the actual eBay experience but the product was very disappointing. The shield itself is what you would expect, heavy polycarbonate, smoke black in color, Weathertech logo in the corner. The problem are the fasteners. The ends are anchored with clips, which is OK, I guess, since they give you clear shields so as not to mar the finish. The real issue are the four main fasteners. First you have to remove four factory button type push fasteners to open holes to install the shield. The included fasteners consist of a small metal screw that threads into a brittle, plastic washer with two “arms” that are supposed to splay out to secure the shield and factory rubber gasket that you just detached. I broke two and the other two did not expand as intended. Weathertech should be ashamed of themselves for foisting this on the public. Advertised as easy install, these fasteners are unnecessarily complicated and really cheaply made. Avoid at all costs. I am going to a hardware store and try and install this with sheet metal screws and lock washers otherwise I will get have to get another one from a company that is more concerned about a quality product than maximizing their profits by cutting corners with the installation hardware. I had some similar issues with their tailgate liner but that’s another review.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bug Shield
The bug shield is very sturdy looks really nice on my truck. The only down side is the installation pieces are very cheap, made of plastic, they broke very easily, and wasn't long enough, had to jerry rig it. The company needs to fix this. That's why the 4 stars instead of 5.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Installation does not match reality
Where to begin.. I screws didn't grew into the bracket. The bracket dangerously went on the the hood. The instruction related to the installation of the gasket and guard with the supplied clips was horribly mis matched. The supplied clips were not long enough nor strong enough to support the guard and gasket. When the clips where finally installed there was no way to aling the clips. As it was, the good wouldn't even be able close and let a inch gash on my new 2018 truck. Absolutely the worst install ever.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

WeatherTech
The product is good. Installation is terrible. Very cheap mounting hardware. Hard to line up holes. Expect a trip to a hardware store for decent mounting screws and clamps. Not a typical WT product but the shield it self is good quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Disappointing
The bug deflector seemed good but the hardware didn't work. The holes in my truck could have been over sized, but the hardware was also to short. A trip to "Autozone" took care of problem. I was disappointed with a big name like Weather Tech.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Poor hardware
Wind deflector has very poor attachment hardware. Very flimsy, needed to purchase new screws to attach to the hood. Started to return it. Shield is made well so I kept it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bug Shield
Very nice product and easy to install and the instructions were spot on. It matches my window deflectors perfect.

All I can say is your looking for quality products Weather Tech is the oneVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Terrible cheap mounting hardware
If they provide better mounting hardware it would be great, I had to go to hardware store and buy metal retaining clips with metal screws , the cheap plastic ones they provided wouldn't even fit the holes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
