What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Jmuns]

I have a different brand of deflector than the one originally posted about, I run the AVS Bugflector II which I installed with the included screws instead of the option of 3M tape.

I will add that with the way I secured the Kayak and Canoe, the strap down to the front tow hooks and rear toe hitch were not significantly tensioned. For me they were to stop forward / backward movement of the boats while the major tie down tension was the ratchet straps securing the boats to the roof rack.

If boats were mounted similarly, I would not expect 3M installed hood deflectors to be a problem, the biggest benefit is not having the front tie downs making contact with the hood paint

I wasnt thinking of fastening to the deflector, I use 2 straps at the front but I was wondering if the straps would crush and crack a deflector if they ran over it. I will use some sort of material to protect the paint if a deflector cant hold up. I dont want to spend the money if Im going to destroy it. Although since I got this vehicle money doesn't seem to be an obstacle lol.

Did you look at the pics from the thread I posted? They do exactly what you are talking about.

Yes I saw the pics, when it warms up I will probably go for the sam bug deflector

The works service and software recall at 15k miles. Still loving it.
