Auto Ventshade [AVS] Bugflector II Hood Shield / Protector | Fits 2008 - 2013 Ford Econoline Vans, 2008 - 2025 Ford E - 450 Super Duty | High Profile Bug Deflector - 1 pc., Dark Smoke | 25016

Super easy install. looks and fits perfect on my 2009 Ford E-350 van. If your hood doesn’t close after the install, remember to adjust up or down on the 2 huge rubber hood stop screws on each side of the front of the engine compartment that determine the height of the hood when latched a couple turns up or down will do the trick. Great seller too.

Fits "nearly" perfect. In general this fits 100% but I did elongate the holes side to side to give me a little adjustment room. My driver side was a little tight to the headlight edge so I could move it toward the passenger side a little to gain room, and it was perfect. Well made great item for our 2018 dynamax isata4 31ds, ford E450 chassis.

The Bugflector II installed in about 15 minutes on my E450 based Motorhome. Only had to drill 2 small holes (under the hood) for the far right and far left holes for which self tapping screws were provided and worked perfectlu. This bug guard is VERY solid and sharp looking. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Fitment: There is some confusion in the reviews about which vehicles this part was made for. I installed this on a 2019 Ford E450 C-Class Motorhome chassis, but also fits a few other years/models. See my photo for the parts application sticker that came on the deflector for details. Install Tips: The included instructions are decent. It took me about 20 minutes. Take your time and review the drawings for an easier install. Start by removing just the four specified under-hood rubber strip clips. These clips will not be reused. The four larger under-hood mounting screws are self-tapping, so you just need a large size Phillips screwdriver to tighten those. Always wait to install the two outboard screws after installing the main four screws. Even though they call the two outboard screws "self-tapping", they are not. Thanks to other reviewers I had a drill and 1/8” drill bit ready to go. NOTE: Be super careful to only drill (about 3/8" max) into the underneath part of the hood; and not up through the top surface of the hood! Finally, remove the tape film to expose the two-sided tape adhesive only AFTER drilling the holes, and then install the four provided rubber bumpers to keep the thinner end sections from fluttering and hitting the hood at speed. Fit and Finish: After installation I closed the hood and noticed that the deflector is off-center about 3/8” (toward the driver’s side) where it almost touches the chrome grill. Clearance on the pass. side is ok. I may decide to carve/sand that edge back for more clearance later on. I can imagine it is difficult for the manufacturer to perfectly mass-produce an acrylic molded shape every time. Final Thoughts: The deflector definitely looks like an "add-on" but for me it is more about the function than the appearance. I expect (hope) it works to keep bugs, and more importantly rocks, off the windshield.

Vent shade looks great on the work van

According to the Amazon information, the AVS 25016 bug shield was not a fit for the 2014 Ford E-series vans. According to another website chart, the AVS 25016 Bugdelector II fits the 2011 to 2015 (and probably the 2016) Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 van chassis. Based on the other chart, we ordered it from Amazon and it fits perfectly. The instructions are simple and the most difficult part was removing (only 4) plastic fasteners holding the weather strip to the hood, then slipping the bug shield between the underside of the hood and the weather strip and aligning the holes. All parts are included for the install. Suggestion, place an old sheet or carpet across the top of the motor to prevent losing a small piece in the motor compartment. Installation took about a half hour. Amazon needs to update their chart information annually.

One of the reviews said it took his mechanics a short time to mount. Took me about an hour in 87 degree heat. Good thing I had tools from removing a door panel to remove the plastic clips holding the rubber gasket on the bottom side of the hood. Only had to drill 2 very small holes on the underside of the hood to secure the plastic hood at both ends. Looks very good once mounted, hope it keeps bugs and rocks from my windshield for upcoming trip.

This product installs just as outlined in the instructions, in about 15 minutes. The 4 large screws self-tap into the existing plastic plug holes, in the center of the hood, where the weather strip is mounted. My only issue with installation was that the smaller "self-tapping" screws on each outer end, did not self-tap. My attempts to self-tap resulted in the screws being worn dull at the tips. While I had to drill a small holes, in order to start the two small screws, dropping a star for something so minor would be disingenuous. I touched up about 30 paint chip spots before installing, so this will be well worth its price. Save the rubber bumpers that get adhered to the hood for the extreme ends. The deflector is sturdy enough, I don't anticipate hood contact in the middle area.
