WeatherTech Stone and Bug Deflector Custom Fit Hood Deflector for Dodge Durango (50206)

I had never used a deflector before but felt the need to protect my new SUV. In Maine the road crews don't use a lot of salt, but boy do they love sand with small stones in it. My former car's windshield looked like it had been sandblasted by the time I sold it (very noticeable when you drive into the sun). Because I have had great luck with WeatherTech floor mats, I decided to avoid the cheap deflectors and go with this one. Installation was pretty simple once I figured out how to attach it. I had to remove 4 plastic plugs from the underside of my hood, those holding a rubber gasket in place, but no holes had to be drilled. Carefully sliding the deflector in place around the gasket, installation went quickly. I did not have to make any adjustments to my hood latch to ensure it would latch properly. The kit included 4 small, plastic bumper guards with adhesive on them, recommended for installation on the hood under the deflector to protect the hood if the deflector moved in strong winds. Taking into account the obvious rigidity and strength of this Lexan-like deflector, I chose to put the bumper guards on the bottom of the deflector. After months of use, it is clear that they were not needed at all - even at 80 mph into a headwind, my deflector never moves and it certainly does not make any noise as cheaper deflectors are known to do. It is hard to state accurately how many bugs and rocks this deflector keeps away from my windshield, but driving in warm summer evenings with bug hatches going on, I end up with very few splatters on the windshield. The deflector looks like it just came out of the box so I am confident it will last for years. This is definitely worth the price of WeatherTech if you care about your car and driving safety.

Just got it in the mail today and installed it myself. Got it in a long rectangular box (length of stone and bug deflector) wrapped in plastic wrap and bubble wrap. No damage. It came with four screws and four washers with instructions also. Instructions are easy to understand. All you need for this task is to clean the front hood area and a Phillips screw driver (to tighten the screws) and flathead screwdriver (to pop out the retaining clips) that's holding the hoods rubber seal. It took me approximately 15 minutes to get installed. Very easy to install just follow the instructions. It looks amazing and on the box itself it says for 2011-2017 Durango. That should answer most people's question if it'll fit this year or that year.

This bug shield looks amazing! It is subtle but effective and adds so much character to my 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel. Seemed relatively easy to install and is very sturdy.

Still get some bugs and you cant see it from the drivers seat. I think that it would block more bugs if it was a little bit higher.

Easy to put on and adds style to any vehicle. Amazon said it would not fit a 2013 durango but it does. 2011-2013 are the same body style.

Painless install and it looks great.
