I just installed my rugged ridge this morning and yes I am experiencing wind slap on the soft top now when driving. Kind of disappointed now.

that sucks man. When they designed the jeep it was done for the windshield to take the majority of that wind so now that uu have the deflector it comes back down over the driver passenger area. Just my opinion.

We have the Mopar bug deflectors on our Jeeps. They protect the front edge of the hood and help stop stones from skipping up the hood and hitting the windshield under the wipers. As for bugs, it just deflects the bugs a little higher up the windshield...
