1999 Chevrolet Venture - Bug Deflector

Do Bug Deflectors Work?

A hood protector or bug deflector redirects airflow from the hood's surface and lowers the chance of bugs and debris hitting and damaging the edge of your hood or windshield while you drive. Deflectors can also provide improved visibility and limit the risk of glass damage by deflecting rain, snow, and other debris away from the windshield. Hood protectors come in a variety of styles and finishes, which can also help customize your vehicle's appearance. Bug deflectors are easy to install, and often don't require any permanent modification to your vehicle so they can be removed later if desired. Some deflector kits do require holes to be drilled on the underside of the hood, but this keeps the fasteners hidden and the holes inconspicuous if you eventually need to remove it for any reason. If you need a bug deflector or want to replace an old one that is cracked, faded, or otherwise damaged, O'Reilly Auto Parts has a wide selection of deflector styles for most vehicles, and our Parts Professionals can help you find a hood protector engineered for a perfect fit.
