Nope, I've got the Daystar Hood Wranglers. They work great.

Hahah! I should note that the snow was coming over the hood at times. Maybe I was just driving too fast. Avg speed was 60-80 km/h.

Brother, that is just insane! I have a lot of Canadian neighbors that move down into Scottsdale starting in November and they mention how much they hate that kind of snow.

U need to slow down. Jks are not pre-runners or racing vehicles, they are are designed for low speed technical off road driving.

Good grief, I will never gripe again about the snow storms in Utah. I have never seen so much snow under a hood in my whole life. Hope you get everything cleaned out and workable. It is nice to know that this can happen.

I have had that happen here in Maine as well except I was simply parked into the wind during a big storm.
