Bug / Stoneguard - Nissan Murano

mrken3 · 03-27-2005, 01:39 PM

I have looked thru threads on bug / stone guards. I saw some pics and was wondering if what you good people thought. Thinking about the weathertech one. THANKS, a lot of good info here and nice folks

I have the weathertech bug guard.
I love the look, it was a drilless, quick installation, and judging by the little nicks all over it, it's doing a fine job.

I just searched my drive for the photo of it that I know I took, no luck.

Thanks !!!! Will call for one today.

I have the weathertech one but removed it when I installed the Colgan bra, which I like much better.

Got my weathertech bug deflector today, and got it installed. I like the look from the front, but from the side it seems to stick out from the hood quite a bit. I'm a little undecided as to how much I really like it. I'll wait for my final decision after I get my new grill installed.

Well, I took a trip across the state today. I'm not that impressed with the WeatherTech bug deflector. I don't think it reduced the number of bugs on the windshield at all. The wife says it looks goofy, I'm "iffy" on the looks, and it doesn't seem to have any functionality (my hood is already protected with StonGard) so I'm might be removing it. We'll see. I'll give it a few more days.

MOpar · 04-04-2005, 03:03 PM

Haven't had a chance to truly test mine yet,hope it helps.

This is why I went with the Colgan bra instead. The Weathertech bug deflector kind of spoiled the smooth organic curves of the Murano.

There really is no need for the bug deflector with the StonGard because the bugs will clean right off of the film and rock chips are prevented. Why not let the cars natural beauty and color shine through?

I was hoping to change the aerodynamics enough with the bug deflector to keep the bugs off my windshield. I don't really care about bugs on my hood/bumper, they can wash off easily. I just don't like it when I have to stop the car driving through central washington because I can no longer see through the bug guts (yes, it gets that bad during certain times of the year).

Sounds like you would also need to screen off your radiator so it won't get plugged by bugs.

I'm WITH YOU on that Corin! That's why I made a "Condom" out of the Venture Shield for most of the Mo. Whay if you places some rubber spacers behind the deflector to lift the angle up?
