Default Bugs Bugs & More Bugs...!!!

Well the JK has been out for over a year now. Just wondering if anybody has found a good bug deflector that actually deflects bugs yet?
Sure would be nice...!!!

Default Mopar shield

I have the tinted mopar bug shield. It does a decent job of keeping the splats down, and looks pretty good....$60 from the stealership.

I'm already driving a brick...a bug deflector would be like adding some more mortar.

Seriously...that large flat, upright wall of glass is just asking for it.

I have had to replace the glass once already from a teeny tiny stone kicked up, that hit the edge of the glass in corner hidden by the pillar...and commenced to spider across the windshield a few miles later.


I found for bugs, guano, etc...a good coating of RainX, followed by the use of the RainX wiper fluid...does a really good job in keeping the obscuring detritus from accumulating.
