Hood Deflector = Hood Bounce / Flapping

I checked my 2021 BS Outer Banks, it has them. Surprised me.

I checked my 2021 BS Outer Banks, it has them. Surprised me.

First year before the de-contenting started.

As DWG suggested, I installed the two weather strips on my hood shortly after I got the BS. There is no vibration or looseness. This mod will likely solve your problem. I also got the Ford hood soundproofing. This part had a very hefty shipping cost which was waived if you order from your local Ford dealer and pick up at the dealership. The installation was very easy.

It was because of your post on another thread that I installed the weatherstripping. Thank you!

I just installed the same deflector on my hood and have driven up to 80mph without any significant wobble. I must be lucky!

same here no problems with hood shake or vibration

Just guessing but I am betting that being a first edition your BS has the under hood weatherstripping on the sides of the hood. They just snap into the holes along the underside edge of the hood. I do not know what year they were deleted but they were deleted from my BS. I had some questions for the shop Forman under the hood and he saw the weatherstrips and said I was smart to add them. He said they would help with hood vibration. I don't know if they would help with vibration from adding the hood deflector since I do not have one but at about $25 for each side they may be worth a try.

Great tip!!! I used the 1/4" and it worked excellent.

5/16 doesn't fit no matter how I lubed it. I did this to my 2023 BB and used the smaller size with baby powder to install it and it worked fine.
