I'm thinking of adding a bug shield to my '09 Escape. I've never owned one before, so these things are new to me. I'm looking at the Lund Interceptor II and the Ford OEM low profile shield. Any comments on either one? Thoughts on where to buy the Lund?
I read some people find these things create wind noise. Anyone notice it on an Escape?
I have the ford as well , had it on for awhile but then took it off cause i thought it looked abit cleaner with it off than on,,who knows i will probably put it back on when iget bored of the way it looks now, but the oem fors fit and looked good Dino
I haven't searched in a long while, are there color choices yet? Like clear or Chrome? I'm just afraid smoked on at Lt Blue would look out of place.
But now that I've had her almost 2 years, I guess I really don't need one, I don't get that many bugs on the windows, and lukily no chips yet (Afraid to say it, so now it'll happen)
FYI, I received the Lund bug shield and it didn't fit. The p/n shown on the shield is the correct model, according to Lund. Lund customer service said it was "defective" and I should return it.
I bought it from Amazon.com so now I have the hassle of shipping it back. Lund said the Interceptor II will no longer be sold and only the "Bugflector II" by AVS will be sold in its place. The rep said the two shields are identical.
I'm not takig another chance with Lund and maybe I'll buy the Ford bug shield, but I really wanted it today because I'm taking a long trip over the next several days. None of my local dealers have it in stock.
Does the Ford low profile bug shield require drilling holes? I read on one parts website that it does.
There was a thread some time ago about drilling holes under the hood for deflectors, many people had comments on what to do to the holes so they don't rust out... It would be a shame to install a product that protects your hood only to increase the rate of it's deterioration down the road.
