Added Redline Tuning hood struts and black matte letter covers yesterday.

Had my 40,000 mile service done this morning. After deducting my FordPass points, cost me $14 — a good deal for me.
Surprisingly, there’s a lot left on the brakes (kinda’ figured they’d be ready to replace). Service said they should go another 5-10K. I sure hope he’s right!
I’d already changed the air/cabin filters (Amazon specials)myself, and tire rotation/alignment are done “free” by Costco/Firestone which saves me a bit at Ford.
The Sport is four years old now, and, has been really trouble free. She still looks good and runs great, unlike me, who’s in need of lots of work <lol>.

I can sympathize with you Bill at 68YO I am in the same situation needing some work myself.

How do you like that hood deflector? Does it seem like it could handle a canoe strap, the raised part looks like it wouldnt interfere but just wondering how solid the front edge is against the hood.

I like it a lot but not sure I'd strap a canoe to it. You'd have to drill a hole into it and it's affixed by 3M tape so not sure I would trust it with something strapped to it.

You may want to check this post out and ask @Horse n Buggy. I've seen others post pics of canoes tied down to the two hooks and over the hood/hood deflector

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.

 

[Garth]

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